Hypotenuse of 5 and 6
Hypotenuse = √61 ≈ 7.81025
For a right triangle with legs 5 and 6, the hypotenuse c satisfies a² + b² = c²:
5² + 6² = 25 + 36 = 61, so c = √61 ≈ 7.81025 (√61).

Frequently asked questions
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 5 and 6?
It is √61 ≈ 7.81025 (or √61 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 5² + 6² = 61.
Is 5, 6, … a Pythagorean triple?
No. The hypotenuse √61 is not a whole number, so 5 and 6 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
