Using the formula you find that the length of c the hypotenuse is 13. Diagram 1 Diagram 2. Hence the length of the hypotenuse is 5cm.
Lets look at an example.
The length of the. The following is the calculation formula for the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle based on the Pythagorean theorem. There are more advanced trigonometric functions that allow us to calculate the third side of a triangle even non-right triangles given a particular degree angle and side length. Diagram 1 Diagram 2.
