Frequently asked questions

What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 3 and 9?

It is √90 ≈ 9.486833 (or 3√10 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 3² + 9² = 90.

Is 3, 9, … a Pythagorean triple?

No. The hypotenuse √90 is not a whole number, so 3 and 9 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
