Hypotenuse of 12 and 12
Hypotenuse = √288 ≈ 16.970563
For a right triangle with legs 12 and 12, the hypotenuse c satisfies a² + b² = c²:
12² + 12² = 144 + 144 = 288, so c = √288 ≈ 16.970563 (12√2).

Frequently asked questions
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 12 and 12?
It is √288 ≈ 16.970563 (or 12√2 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 12² + 12² = 288.
Is 12, 12, … a Pythagorean triple?
No. The hypotenuse √288 is not a whole number, so 12 and 12 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
