What are the side lengths of a right triangle?

Back

In a right triangle, the side lengths consist of two legs (a and b) and one hypotenuse (c), where c is the longest side opposite the right angle.

What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?

Back

In a right triangle, the relationship is defined by the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
