What is the length of the hypotenuse, x, if (12, 35, x) is a pythagorean triple?

For any right triangle, squaring each of the legs then adding them will equal to the hypotenuse squared.

In mathematical notation:

Where the variables a and b are the legs and the variable c is the hypotenuse.

Plug in the values.






So, the hypotenuse is 37 units long.

A^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + 35^2 = x^2
144 + 1225 = x^2
1369 = x^2
sqrt 1369 = x
37 = xso the hypotenuse is 37

I’m a smart person so that’s why i think it was 6
