Hypotenuse of 6 and 12
Hypotenuse = √180 ≈ 13.416408
For a right triangle with legs 6 and 12, the hypotenuse c satisfies a² + b² = c²:
6² + 12² = 36 + 144 = 180, so c = √180 ≈ 13.416408 (6√5).

Frequently asked questions
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 6 and 12?
It is √180 ≈ 13.416408 (or 6√5 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 6² + 12² = 180.
Is 6, 12, … a Pythagorean triple?
No. The hypotenuse √180 is not a whole number, so 6 and 12 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
