Frequently asked questions

What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 5 and 7?

It is √74 ≈ 8.602325 (or √74 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 5² + 7² = 74.

Is 5, 7, … a Pythagorean triple?

No. The hypotenuse √74 is not a whole number, so 5 and 7 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
