Hypotenuse of 1 and 4

Hypotenuse = √17 ≈ 4.123106

For a right triangle with legs 1 and 4, the hypotenuse c satisfies a² + b² = c²:

1² + 4² = 1 + 16 = 17, so c = √17 ≈ 4.123106 (√17).

Frequently asked questions

What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 1 and 4?

It is √17 ≈ 4.123106 (or √17 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 1² + 4² = 17.

Is 1, 4, … a Pythagorean triple?

No. The hypotenuse √17 is not a whole number, so 1 and 4 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
