Hypotenuse of 2 and 5

Hypotenuse = √29 ≈ 5.385165

For a right triangle with legs 2 and 5, the hypotenuse c satisfies a² + b² = c²:

2² + 5² = 4 + 25 = 29, so c = √29 ≈ 5.385165 (√29).

Frequently asked questions

What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 2 and 5?

It is √29 ≈ 5.385165 (or √29 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 2² + 5² = 29.

Is 2, 5, … a Pythagorean triple?

No. The hypotenuse √29 is not a whole number, so 2 and 5 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
