The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 12 inches and 16 inches is: 20 inches.
If the hypotenuse is the square root of three, then the legs are (root 6)/2. If the hypotenuse is 12, then the legs are 6(root 2). This is because, for any given right isosceles triangle, the length of the hypotenuse x is root two times the length of the legs.
hypotenuse = sqr ( 5² + 12² ) = 13.
By using Pythagoras; theorem for a right angle triangle.
