Pythagoras Theroem: a2 + b2 = c2
Where a and b form a right angle and c is the hypotenus (longest side of a right angle triangle)
=> 102 + 102 = c2
{calculate the powers}
=> 200 = c2
{sqare root both sides}
=> c = sqrt(200)
c = sqrt(200) or 10*sqrt(2)
It depends on what other information you have. Knowing the lengths of two sides of a triangle is not enough to calculate the third. You need to have some further information: and angle, the area, the length of an altitude or a median.
If you're only given the base, then you can't calculate the other leg. If you have any one of the following, then you can calculate all of the parts of the triangle: -- length of the other leg -- length of the hypotenuse -- size of either acute angle
The answer may refer to a triangle for which the length of two sides and the measure of an angle - other than the included angle - are known.
The answer depends on what other information you have about the triangle.
The formula can't even be written unless you know either -- the size of one of the other sides of the triangle, and the size of the angles at both ends of it, or else -- the size of both other sides of the triangle, and the size of the angle between them.

If it's a right angle triangle then:- a2+b2 = c2 where 'c' is the hypotenuse and the square root of this is the length of the hypotenuse when 'a' and 'b' are the other sides of the right angle triangle.

-- Like every triangle, a right triangle has three interior angles.-- Unlike any other triangle, one of the angles in a right triangle is a right angle.The other two are both acute angles.-- One acute angle is the angle whose cosine is length of one leg / length of hypotenuse-- Other acute angle is the angle whose sine is length of the same leg / length of the hypotenuse-- The length of the hypotenuse is the square root of [ (length of one leg)2 + length of other leg)2 ]

A right angled triangle cannot have one angle of 32 degrees and another of 52 degrees. The two MUST sum to 90 degrees. Furthermore, information about the three angles is not sufficient to calculate any length for the triangle. You must know the length of at least one line - a side, an altitude or a median.

A right-angled triangle can be an Isosceles Triangle, but NOT an equilateral triangle. An Isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. They form the 90 degree (right angle). The hypotenuse is opposite the right angle, and is longer than the other two sides.
By using the formula a2+b2=c2, where a is one side of the right-angled triangle and b is the other side of the right angle triangle. C stands for the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle. Note: this formula only works for RIGHT-ANGLED TRIANGLES!!!
