The hypotenuse is the longest side of any right triangle, and the legs are the two legs coming out from where the right angle is.
If both legs of a right triangle are the same, then it forms what is known as a "45-45-90 triangle". In this type of triangle, the hypotenuse is always √2 times more than the legs. So in this problem, with legs 3cm and 3cm, the hypotenuse is 3√2cm, or 4.243cm
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 12 inches and 16 inches is: 20 inches.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs of 5cm and 2.5cm is: 5.59cm
