The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 13 centimeters long. How long are its sides?
That is it. Just the hypotenuse - provided you have the correct triangle.
The hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side. The hypotenuse of the right triangle measured 5 inches. In the formula "a2 + B2 = C2, the hypotenuse is always C.
The formula was never invented but it was discovered by the ancient mathematicians who found that for any right angle triangle the square if its hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of it sides. Nowadays it's known as Pythagoras' theorem and the formula is:- a2+b2 = c2 whereas a and b are the sides of the right angle triangle with c being its hypotenuse or longest side
