a^2 +b^2=c^2
This solution applies for right-angled triangles only:
If you have the length of the two other lines, all you would need to use is the Pythagoras' theorem which states that a2 + b2 = c2 where a and b are the two lines creating the right angle and c is the hypotenuse. This is the most accurate way of finding the hypotenuse, or an unknown length given that of the other two lines. However, if you do not have the length of two lines, this equation doesn't work. If you have the length of a line and another angle, there is sin or cos that be used (depending on which line and which angle is it that you know).

What is the hypotenuse if the legs of a right triangle is 25 yards and 12 yards?
= square root ( 252 + 122 ) = 27.731 to 3 decimal places
What is length of hypotenuse if 2 legs are 30 inches?
If it is a right angle triangle then using Pythagoras; theorem its hypotenuse is 30 times the square root of 2 in inches which is about 42.426 inches rounded to 3 decimal places.
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 14.14 cm and a leg of length 10 cm. What is the area?
If the hypotenuse has been rounded to 2 decimal places then using Pythagoras the length of the other leg is also 10 cm. Area of the triangle: 0.5*10*10 = 50 square cm
What is the measure of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if one side is 700 mm and the other side is 500 mm?
The hypotenuse measures 860.233mm (to 3 decimal places).The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides according to Pythagoras' Theorem. We can write this as a2 = b2 + c2 where a is the hypotenuse and b & c are the other two sides.Thus here we can say that:a2 = 7002 + 5002a2 = 490,000 + 250,000a2 = 740,000a = 860.233 (rounded to 3 decimal places).
If one leg of a right triangle measures 3 cm and the other leg measures 6 cm what is the length of the hypotenuse?
Use Pythagoras: 32+62 = 45 and the square root of 45 is about 6.708203932 hypotenuse = 6.71 cm correct to two decimal places
What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 12 and 13?
It is the square root of 313 which is about 17.692 rounded to 3 decimal places
If the legs of an isosceles right triangle are 6 units long find the length of the hypotenuse.?
Using Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle the hypotenuse works out as the square root of 72 which is about 8.485 units to 3 decimal places
What is the hypotenuse if the legs of a right triangle is 25 yards and 12 yards?
= square root ( 252 + 122 ) = 27.731 to 3 decimal places
What is the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle with the leg length of 3?
Using Pythagoras: 32+32 = 18 and its square root is the length of the hypotenuse which is about 4.243 rounded to 3 decimal places
What is the hypotenuse if one leg is 7 in and the other leg is 11 in?
If its a right angle triangle then by using Pythagoras' theorem its hypotenuse is the square root of 170 which is about 13.038 inches rounded to three decimal places
What is length of hypotenuse if 2 legs are 30 inches?
If it is a right angle triangle then using Pythagoras; theorem its hypotenuse is 30 times the square root of 2 in inches which is about 42.426 inches rounded to 3 decimal places.
What is the smallest angle and length of its hypotenuse when a right angle triangle has sides of 2.34cm and 1.64cm?
Using the sine rule its smallest angle is 35.02 degrees rounded to two decimal places. Using Pythagoras' theorem its hypotenuse is 2.86cm rounded to two decimal places.
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 14.14 cm and a leg of length 10 cm. What is the area?
If the hypotenuse has been rounded to 2 decimal places then using Pythagoras the length of the other leg is also 10 cm. Area of the triangle: 0.5*10*10 = 50 square cm

What is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with a side of 12.5 and an angle of 45?
Because its got an angle of 45 then both sides will be 12.5 so use Pythagoras' theorem to find the hypotenuse: 12.52+12.52 = 312.5 and the square root of this is the length of the hypotenuse which is 17.678 units rounded to 3 decimal places
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 degree triangle when the legs measure 26 millimeters?
It is: 26 times square root 2 mm or about 36.769 to 3 decimal places
What is the leg length of an isosceles right triangle with a hypotenuse of 32 inches?
Each leg length is 16 times square root of 2 or about 22,627 inches to 3 decimal places
