How it works

Leave the unknown side blank. The tool solves for the hypotenuse when both legs are known, or for a leg when the hypotenuse is given.

Frequently asked questions

Which side is the hypotenuse?

The longest side, always opposite the right angle.

Why do I get an error?

The hypotenuse must be longer than either leg, otherwise no right triangle exists.
