How do you find the Hypotenuse of a right triangle?

Question

Find the length of the Hypotenuse?  Height is 6m, Base is 12m, Area is 36m.

Answer 1

C^2= A^2 + B^2

C^2 = 6^2 + 12^2

C^2 = 36 + 144 = 180

C = √180 = 13.42

The Hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the base squared plus height squared.

We do not need the area for this calculations but it is correct, (12x6)/2 = 36
