Pythagorean Theorem Calculator

Solve right triangles using the Pythagorean theorem (a² + b² = c²). Enter any two sides to find the third.

Enter any two values. Leave the unknown side blank.

About Pythagorean Theorem Calculator

This free Pythagorean theorem calculator solves right triangles using the formula a² + b² = c². Enter any two side lengths (legs a and b, or hypotenuse c) and the calculator finds the missing side instantly. It also computes the perimeter, area (when both legs are known), and validates that the triangle satisfies the triangle inequality theorem. All calculations are performed step-by-step in your browser — no data is sent to any server.

Free & Unlimited

Use as many times as you need. No sign-up, no limits, no hidden charges. Always free.
