Hypotenuse of 8 and 12

Hypotenuse = √208 ≈ 14.422205

For a right triangle with legs 8 and 12, the hypotenuse c satisfies a² + b² = c²:

8² + 12² = 64 + 144 = 208, so c = √208 ≈ 14.422205 (4√13).

Frequently asked questions

What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 8 and 12?

It is √208 ≈ 14.422205 (or 4√13 in simplified radical form). Using a² + b² = c²: 8² + 12² = 208.

Is 8, 12, … a Pythagorean triple?

No. The hypotenuse √208 is not a whole number, so 8 and 12 do not form a Pythagorean triple with an integer hypotenuse.
