It is the line of a right triangle that connects the two angles that are less than 90°. It is therefore always the longest side of the triangle.
It can be found by using the Pythagorean Theorem Formula: a2+b2=c2, where a and b are the lengths of each of the two 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.
