You calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle using the following formula : a squared + b squared = c squared. (C is hypotenuse and A and B are legs)
If the other sides are both one inch long, then the hypotenuse is the square root of 2.

If the hypotenuse and a leg of a right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and a leg of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent.
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse, and yes,when there's a hypotenuse, it's the longest side.
That depends entirely on the LENGTH of the hypotenuse !
Hypotenuse squared = 12 squared + 5 Squared so Hypotenuse Squared = 144 + 25 so Hypotenuse = Square root of 169 = 13cm
By using the formula a2+b2=c2, where a is one side of the right-angled triangle and b is the other side of the right angle triangle. C stands for the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle. Note: this formula only works for RIGHT-ANGLED TRIANGLES!!!
