Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Pythagorean Leg Calculator, formulas, and expected usage.
What does the Pythagorean Leg Calculator calculator do?
It helps with solving right triangles when one leg and the hypotenuse are known.
What formula does the Pythagorean Leg Calculator calculator use?
Missing leg = √(hypotenuse² - known leg²).
What inputs are valid?
Hypotenuse must be greater than the known leg, and lengths cannot be negative.
When would I use this?
solving right triangles when one leg and the hypotenuse are known
