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.

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 a neat little problem ! I'll remember this one, and I'll use it. The altitude to the hypotenuse is 12.0 millimeters long.
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 with a hypotenuse of 11 and one leg of 8, the other leg is: 7.55
Use Pythagoras'theorem:- 52+42 = 41 and the square root of this is the hypotenuse which is about 6.403124237 units in length
