Description

📐 Pythagorean Theorem Calculator – Solve Right Triangles Easily

The Pythagorean Theorem Calculator helps you find the missing side of a right triangle using the formula a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2a2+b2=c2. It’s an essential tool in geometry, trigonometry, architecture, and physics.

📘 What It Calculates:

  • ✅ Hypotenuse (c) when both legs (a, b) are known

  • ✅ A leg (a or b) when the hypotenuse and one leg are known

  • ✅ Step-by-step application of the theorem

💡 Features:

  • Easy input for triangle sides

  • Instant calculation of missing side

  • Works for small and large numbers

  • Helpful in geometry, construction, and real-life applications

👤 Who Should Use This:

  • 📌 Students studying geometry & trigonometry

  • 📌 Teachers & tutors explaining right triangles

  • 📌 Architects, engineers, and designers

  • 📌 Anyone solving right-angled triangle problems

✅ Pro Tip:

The theorem only applies to right triangles (90° angle). Remember:

a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2a2+b2=c2

where ccc is the hypotenuse (longest side).

🔗 Related Tools:

It states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides: 𝑎 2 + 𝑏 2 = 𝑐 2 a 2 +b 2 =c 2 .

It’s a foundation of geometry, used in distance calculation, trigonometry, physics, architecture, and even computer graphics.

No, it only applies to right-angled triangles. For non-right triangles, we use the Law of Cosines.
