Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c². Angles A and B are opposite sides a and b. The right angle is always 90°.

About

The Pythagorean theorem in action. Enter the two legs and read the hypotenuse, the area, the perimeter, and both non-right angles. Useful for ramps, roofs, screens, and any problem with a 90-degree angle in it.

How to use

  1. Enter side a.
  2. Enter side b.
  3. Read hypotenuse, angles, area, perimeter.

FAQ

How are the angles calculated?+

From the arctangent of the side ratios. Angle A (opposite side a) = arctan(a/b). Angle B = 90° minus A.
