Fórmula
Pythagorean theorem: c = √(a² + b²). Area: S = ½ × a × b. Angles via atan.
Perguntas Frequentes
How do you find the hypotenuse?
Use the Pythagorean theorem: c = √(a² + b²), where a and b are the legs.
How do you find a missing leg?
If you know the hypotenuse c and one leg a, the other leg is b = √(c² − a²).
How are the angles calculated?
The angle opposite leg a is α = atan(a/b) in degrees. The other acute angle is β = 90° − α.
Why must the hypotenuse be the longest side?
In a right triangle, the hypotenuse is opposite the 90° angle, making it always the longest side.
