It depends on what you mean by "measure": perimeter or area, or lengths of medians perhaps, or angle bisectors.

No. If the legs of a right triangle measure 12 and 68, then the hypotenuse measures just a bit over 69.
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 12 inches and 16 inches is: 20 inches.
hypotenuse = sqr ( 5² + 12² ) = 13.
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 = 24
