Calculate the hypotenuse (longest side) of a right angled triangle.
Online Hypotenuse Calculator
Do you need to calculate the length of the longest side of a triangle? The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle with an angle of 90 degrees.
To calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle, we can use the following formula c = √(a² + b²). In the formula is C the hypotenuse. A and B are the 2 shortest straight sides connected to the right 90 degrees angle.

Calculate Hypotenuse triangle
Enter the 2 shortest sides of a right angled triangle (with an angle of 90 degrees) to calculate the third longest side (hypotenusa).
Hypotenuse = √(a² + b²)
What is a Hypotenuse Calculator?
Hypotenuse Calculator is an online tool where you can quickly calculate the hypotenuse (longest side) of a right angled (90deg) triangle by entering the 2 sides that are connected to the 90 degrees corner.
The Hypotenuse is calculated with the following formula: c = √(a² + b²). Hereby is C the hypotenuse. A and B are the 2 shortest straight sides of the triangle.
How to use the Hypotenuse Calculator?
You can use the online Hypotenuse Calculator by entering the 2 sides that are next to the 90 degrees corner of the triangle.
The hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, but only for right angled triangles.
