The hypotenuse is the longest side in a right-angled triangle.

You can calculate this in different ways depending on what pieces of information you have.

If you have the lengths of the two shorter sides, you can use Pythagoras.

Or if you have a side and an angle then you may be required to use Trigonometry.
