In a right-angled triangle the two sides that form the right angle are both 5 inches calculate the length of the other side the hypotenuse?

Using Pythagoras.
h^2 = a^2 + a^2 (Since both the shorter sides are of equal length).
Hence h^2 = 5^2 + 5^2
h^2 = 25 + 25
h^2 = 50
h = sqrt(50)
h = 7.0710678...inches. ~ 7.07 inches.
