Solve for any missing side of a right triangle, or verify that three sides obey the theorem.
Last updated: June 2026 | By Patchworkr Team
Enter a real number.
The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two legs.
This calculator can solve for any missing side or verify a full triple.
Enter any two sides to solve for the third, or enter all three to verify a right triangle.
With legs 3 and 4, the missing side is 5.
With 3, 4, and 5 entered, the calculator verifies the triangle as valid.
Blank and malformed inputs are rejected explicitly, and the verification check uses a small tolerance for floating-point arithmetic.
If the three sides are all present but do not satisfy the theorem, the calculator says so instead of inventing a result.
