The hypotenuse is the side of a triangle opposite of a right angle. If you know the lengths of the two legs, or the two sides that are not the hypotenuse, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. This theorem states that the sum of each leg squared (a squared and b squared) equals the square of the hypotenuse (c squared).
a2 + b2 = c2
So:
402 + 242 = c2
1600 + 576 = c2
46.65 = c
So, if one leg is 40 feet, and the other is 24 feet, the hypotenuse is about 46.65 feet long.

How do I find the length of the hypotenuse with one leg equalling 12 and the opposite angle being 30 degrees?
Rearrange the sine ratio of sine = opposite/hypotenuse: hypotenuse = opposite/sine hypotenuse = 12/sine 30 degrees = 24 Therefore the hypotenuse is 24 units in length.
What is the diagonal measurement of a square 24 feet x 24 feet?
Ah, what a lovely question! To find the diagonal measurement of a square, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. So, for a square that is 24 feet by 24 feet, we can use the formula diagonal = √(side length squared + side length squared). Plugging in the values, we get diagonal = √(24^2 + 24^2) = √(576 + 576) = √1152 ≈ 33.94 feet.

The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 9 feet longer than either of its legs. what the exact length of each side?
Each leg is 21.73 feet and the Hypotenuse is 30.73 feet. (0.73 feet is a whisker over 8¾ inches)
