The Pythagorean Theorem is a fundamental concept in geometry that helps to calculate the length of a diagonal or hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. It establishes a simple relationship between the length of the two perpendicular sides of the triangle (also known as legs or base) and the length of the hypotenuse. At BizzLibrary.com, we offer a Pythagorean Theorem calculator that makes it easy to solve for the unknown length in inches, feet, or any other unit of measurement.

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse (the diagonal side) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (legs). It can be represented mathematically as:

c² = a² + b²

Where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the two legs.

How to Use the Pythagorean Theorem Calculator

Our Pythagorean Theorem calculator allows you to easily calculate the length of the hypotenuse or one of the legs based on the other two sides' length. Here are the steps to use the calculator:

Enter the length of the first side (leg) in the corresponding field.
Enter the length of the second side (leg) in the corresponding field.
Select the unit of measurement (inches, feet, etc.) from the drop-down menu.
Click on 'Calculate' to get the length of the third side (hypotenuse).

Example:

Suppose you have a right triangle with one side (leg) measuring 10 inches and another side (leg) measuring 15 inches. To calculate the hypotenuse's length in inches:

Enter 10 in the first field.
Enter 15 in the second field.
Select 'inches' as the unit of measurement.
Click on 'Calculate.'
The length of the hypotenuse is displayed as 18.027 inches.
