This formula can only be used for finding a side of a right triangle. a = one of the legs b= another one of the legs and c = the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle, or the 90 degree angle. a and b can be used interchangeably and does not matter since 8*1=8 and 1*8= 8.

Plug in the numbers using this formula and solve for the given letter. For example: 3^ +4^2 =25. Then you find the square root of 25 and there you have it, 5 is the hypotenuse.
