Hypotenuse of 2 and 6
Hypotenuse = √40 ≈ 6.324555
For a right triangle with legs 2 and 6, the hypotenuse c satisfies a² + b² = c²:
2² + 6² = 4 + 36 = 40, so c = √40 ≈ 6.324555 (2√10).

Frequently asked questions
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 2 and 6?
It is √40 ≈ 6.324555 (or 2√10 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 2² + 6² = 40.
Is 2, 6, … a Pythagorean triple?
No. The hypotenuse √40 is not a whole number, so 2 and 6 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
