The right triangle calculator finds the missing area, angle, leg, hypotenuse and height of a triangle. The calculator also provides steps on how to solve the most important right triangles: the 30-60-90 triangle and the 45-45-90 triangle.
solution
Leg $ b = 5 $
Hypotenuse $ c = 5 \sqrt{ 2 } $
explanation
Step 1: Find hypotenuse c.
From the diagram above, we can see that $ c = \sqrt{2} \cdot a $. In this example we have:
$$ c = \sqrt{2} \cdot 5 = 5 \sqrt{ 2 } $$Step 2: Find leg b.
From the diagram above, we can see that $ b = a = 5 $.
