Lets say we had a right triangle that we wanted to find the hypotenuse of. The 2 other sides were 6cm and 3cm. You would square each of these(multiply by themselves). You would then get 36cm2 and 9cm2. You would add these numbers (52) then find the square root of this number. (6.7cm) The answer is 6.7cm
The formula for this is: a2 + b2 =c2
Keep in mind that a and b are the other sides and c is the hypotenuse

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.
A hypotenuse is the long side of a right triange.
If two right triangles have (hypotenuse and a leg of one) = (hypotenuse and the corresponding leg of the other) then the triangles are congruent.
Sine= Opposite/ Hypotenuse Cosine= Adjacent/ Hypotenuse
Hypotenuse is: 111.8 feet.
