Hypotenuse Hypotenuse In geometry, a hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle, the side opposite of the right angle. The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. For example, if one of the other sides has a length of 3 (when squared, 9) and the other has a length of 4 (when squared, 16), then their squares add up to 25. The length of the hypotenuse
Integer triangle "c" , "a" + "b" ≤ "c" and "a" ≤ "b" ≤ "c". This is also the number of integer sided obtuse or right (non-acute) triangles with largest side "c". The sequence starting at "c" = 1, is: Consequently, the difference between the two above sequences gives the number of acute integer sided triangles (up to congruence) with given largest side "c". The sequence starting at "c" = 1, is: By Heron's formula, if "T" is the area of a triangle whose sides have lengths "a", "b", and "c" then Since all the terms under the radical on the right
