to find the missing side of a right triangle you need the pythagorean theorem. A2 + B2 = C2. c is the longest side and a and b is the other sides. no particular side is a or b just the longest side is c.
Shortest side -------------------- Longest side
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle. It is also the "c" value in the equation a-squared+b-squared=c-squared.The hypotenuse is the largest side of a right angle triangle.
That it is a right triangle with the longest side c facing the right angle.
If the 13 is the longest side of that right triangle, then the missing side is 5 . If 'c' is the longest side of that right triangle, then the missing one is 17.692 (rounded).
