It depends on the triangle's legs. if we name 1 leg a, the other b, and the hypotenuse c, then a squared + b squared = c squared.
once you get c, you get how long the hypotenuse is.

How do you calculate a hypotenuse?
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.
What is the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse in a right triangle if this altitude divides the hypotenuse into segments of lengths 8 millimeters and 18 millimeters?
What a neat little problem ! I'll remember this one, and I'll use it. The altitude to the hypotenuse is 12.0 millimeters long.
What is the missing length of a right triangle if b equals 35 and c equals 37?
Because there is no information on which side is the hypotenuse, there is not a unique answer. The hypotenuse can either be the missing side or c. If the hypotenuse is the missing side, then it has a length of sqrt(2594) = 50.93133 units. If c is the hypotenuse the missing side is 12 units long.
In a right triangle the hypotenuse is 11 and one leg is 8 How long is the other leg?
In a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 11 and one leg of 8, the other leg is: 7.55
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle where the two sides are 5 units and 4 units long?
Use Pythagoras'theorem:- 52+42 = 41 and the square root of this is the hypotenuse which is about 6.403124237 units in length
