Pythagorean Theorem Calculator

Pythagorean Theorem Calculator lets you a right triangle satisfies hypotenuse² = leg a² + leg b². Enter your own values or load the worked example.

Method and calculation

A right triangle satisfies hypotenuse² = leg a² + leg b².

Inputs and settings

Pythagorean Theorem Calculator accepts First leg (minimum 0.000001); Second leg (minimum 0.000001).
