Pythagorean Theorem Calculator
Find the missing side of a right triangle from the other two, plus its area, perimeter and angles.
Side c
5
- Area
- 6
- Perimeter
- 12
- Angle opposite a
- 36.8699°
- Angle opposite b
- 53.1301°
Show the work
Square the two sides and add them
c to the power of 2 = a to the power of 2 + b to the power of 2
3 to the power of 2 + 4 to the power of 2 = 25
Take the square root
c = √c to the power of 2
√25 = 5
How it works
a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse
