this 'equation' which solves what the hypotenuse of a triangle is, is called the Pythagoras Theorm ( DISCLAIMER: thisonly work for right angled triangles)it works like this: lets say the horozontial length of the triangle is 6cm and the perpindicular height is 8cm. Because the square of the hypotenus is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides we can work out the hypotenuse like this bas eon the facts that one side is 8cm long and the other 6cm. Lets call the hypotenuse h 8cm2 + 6cm2 = h2 64 + 36 = h2 100 = h2 square root of 100 = h 10cm = h I hope that this solves your question

What is the perimeter of a triangle that is attached to a hypotenuse?
That depends entirely on the LENGTH of the hypotenuse !
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with a base of 12 cm and a leg of 5 cm?
Hypotenuse squared = 12 squared + 5 Squared so Hypotenuse Squared = 144 + 25 so Hypotenuse = Square root of 169 = 13cm

What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has legs with lenghts of 5 and 4?
It's 6,40312. 4²+5²= hypotenuse ² 16+25=hypotenuse ² 41=hypotenuse ² |√ 6,40312=hypotenuse
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that has a base of 5 inches and a height 12 inches?
Hypotenuse^2 = base^2 + height^2, substitute the given values Hypotenuse^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 Hypotenuse^2 = 25 + 144 Hypotenuse^2 = 169 Hypotenuse = √169 Hypotenuse = 13 Thus, the hypotenuse is 13 inches.
