This calculator calculates for the length of one side of a right triangle given the length of
the other two sides. A right triangle has two sides perpendicular to each other. Sides "a" and
"b" are the perpendicular sides and side "c" is the hypothenuse. Enter the length of any two sides
and leave the side to be calculated blank. Please check out also the Regular Triangle Calculator and
the Irregular Triangle Calculator.

|
Calculate for side b
|
c²=a² + b²
|
|
c²=a² + b²
|
|
c²=a² + b²
|
c=√a² + b²
|
|
a²=c² - b²
|
|
b²=c² - a²
|
|
|
a=√c² - b²
|
|
b=√c² - a²
