The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. This is one answer. the formula for the pythagorean therum is A2+ B2=C2. Say you have the length "a" at 6 inches and "b" at 8 inches. Your equation is 62+82=C2 or 36+64=100. Now you have to find the quare root of 100 or "c" because up above you had c2. that is different from a2+b2=c. The square root of 100 is 10. The length of your hypotenuse is 10.
