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.
