Right Triangle Calculator

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse, area, and remaining angles in a right triangle.

Formula

a² + b² = c²

For a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Example

If the legs are 3 and 4 units, the hypotenuse is 5 units because 3² + 4² = 25.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a right triangle?

A right triangle has one angle equal to 90° and the opposite side is the hypotenuse.

How do I know the area?

Use Area = (base × height) / 2.

Can I get the angles?

Yes. Using sine, cosine, or tangent, the remaining acute angles can be found from the side ratio.
