c2=a2 + b2 where c2 is the hypotenuse squared and "a" and "b" are each side of the triangle Remember the hypotenuse is the length of the triangle opposite the right angle. Rearrange the formula so the hypothenuse c = the square root of a2 + b2

The side opposite the right angle of a triangle is the hypotenuse which is the longest side
The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse.

Providing it's a right angle triangle the formula is: hypotenuse2-base2 = height2
The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 13 centimeters long. How long are its sides?

That is it. Just the hypotenuse - provided you have the correct triangle.

The hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side. The hypotenuse of the right triangle measured 5 inches. In the formula "a2 + B2 = C2, the hypotenuse is always C.
When you use the distance formula, you are building a right triangle whose hypotenuse connects two given points in a coordinate plane. The two legs of the triangle correspond to the differences in the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the points. The distance formula essentially calculates the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem.
Given a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side or simply the side opposite the 90o angle.
