The hypotenuese is the side opposite of the right angle in a right triangle. It's the longest side. To find it's length you add together the squares of the other two sides. Then you take the square root of that. So if the triangle has two sides that are 3 and 4 and is missing the longest side, you do 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25 then take the square root which is 5. The hypotenuse is 5. Only some triangles will come out with whole number answers.

What is hypotenuse in an isosceles triangle?
Only a right triangle has a hypotenuse. An isosceles triangle can be a right triangle but it doesn't have to be. If it's not, then it doesn't have a hypotenuse.
Find the hypotenuse of a triangle the legs are 35 and 68?
The hypotenuse of a triangle with legs of 35 and 68 is: 76.48
Which point of concurrency is always on the midpoint of the hypotenuse in a triangle?
The circumcenter is always on the midpoint of the hypotenuse when it is in a right triangle.
Find hypotenuse of right triangle of 300Cm and 400Cm?
