Pythagorean Theorem Calculator for Triangles in Geometry
Automatically calculate several standard geometry properties like angles, area, and height of a triangle, available anywhere you need.
Copy templates to use them anywhere:
Calculating the Pythagorean Theorem is a regular task for almost any math student. It's also helpful for people involved in design, construction, and fabrication for knowing the correct sizes of right triangles.
This Text Blaze snippet can complete a variety of calculations about a right triangle, automatically outputting them into almost any other tool or system.
Use this calculator to automatically calculate:
- the length of the hypotenuse, using the length of the two legs.
- the length of a leg, using the length of the hypotenuse and the other leg.
- the interior angles of the triangle.
- the area of the triangle.
- the perimeter of the triangle.
- the height of the triangle.
