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!!?

What is the isosceles right triangle conjecture?
in an isosceles triangle, if the legs have length L, then the hypotenuse has length L square root of 2
Find the length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle whose legs are 1 unit in length.?
Using Pythagoras's theorem the hypotenuse is the square root of 2 units of length
What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle?
a^2+b^2=c^2 100+100=c^2 c=sqrt(200) = 14.14
What is a square root spiral?
a square root spiral is a spiral formed by many right angled triangles, where, the hypotenuse of each triangle is the square root of a number.the first triangle is always an isoseles triangle, with its hypotenuse equal to square root of 2.
Can you show how a right triangle has one line of symmetry?
the only way for a right triangle to have a line of symmetry, is if the legs of the triangle are congruent. Or you can show that both non-right angles are congruent (45 degrees). you may also prove that the altitude of the triangle bisects the hypotenuse or that it equals 1/2 of the hypotenuse.
