Not entirely. You already know that the hypotenuse is only in right triangles, and what it is, right? It's (the two legs)^2=hypotenuse^2. So, for example, if the two legs were to be 3 and 5, it would be 3^2+5^2 which would be 36. But that is the squared answer, so you have to square root it to get 6. Understand!!?
