• Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle a} is the value of the opposite side.
• $b$ is the adjacent side value.

Description

• This function gives the value of the hypotenuse side.
• A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle.
• The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
