if you mean a right triangle then the formula is a squared + b squared = c squared. a and b are the legs and c is the hypotunese. the legs are the smallest number then the hypotenese.
An example is a=3 , b= ? and c =5
use the formula : a squared + b squared = c squared
3 squared + b squared = 5 squared
9 + b squared = 25
-9 - 9
_________________________________________
b squared = 16
Then you have to take the squared root of 16 which is 4 and 4 is b squared.

A right triangle has a leg length of 48 in and hypotenuse of 80 in What is the length of the other leg?
A right triangle with a leg length of 48 inches and a hypotenuse of 80 inches has a third leg of: 64 inches.
How do you find the angle of a right triangle with the length of two legs?
-- Like every triangle, a right triangle has three interior angles.-- Unlike any other triangle, one of the angles in a right triangle is a right angle.The other two are both acute angles.-- One acute angle is the angle whose cosine is length of one leg / length of hypotenuse-- Other acute angle is the angle whose sine is length of the same leg / length of the hypotenuse-- The length of the hypotenuse is the square root of [ (length of one leg)2 + length of other leg)2 ]
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 10 and a leg of length 7 What is the area?
A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 10 and a leg of length 7 has an area of: 24.99 units2
What is the length of x if one leg is 13 and the other leg is 45 degree?
If it's a right angle triangle then the other leg will also be 13 units in length and use Pythagoras' theorem if you need to find the length of the hypotenuse.
If a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 12 cm and one leg that measures 16 cm find the length of the other leg?
This is impossible. A leg cannot be greater than the hypotenuse. (Unless the triangle is part imaginary)
