In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, also known as Pythagoras's theorem, is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The hypotenuse of the nth triangle has a length of sqrt(n+1)
Its hypotenuse

If it is a right angled triangle then this is known as Pythagoras' theorem: height2+base2 = hypotenuse2 ⇒ hypotenuse = √(height2 + base2)
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.
