Hypotenuse formula_9 One may also obtain the value of the angle formula_9 by the equation: in which formula_16 is the other cathetus. 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
St Michael and All Angels Church, Southwick is shaped like a right-angled triangle whose longest side runs from north to south. Shoreham Harbour and the English Channel form the southern boundary; the eastern side corresponds with the ancient boundary between the Rapes of Bramber and Lewes (now the boundary between Adur district and the city of Brighton and Hove, and also between West Sussex and East Sussex); and the western boundary was created in 1848 when Kingston Lane was built to form the eastern limit of Kingston Buci parish. Until 2008, there were two other active Anglican churches in the parish, both of which were administered from
