Reverse Hypotenuse Calculator





Formula

The formula to calculate the Reverse Hypotenuse is:

\[ S2 = \sqrt{H^2 - S1^2} \]

What is Reverse Hypotenuse Calculation?

The Reverse Hypotenuse Calculation is used to find the length of an unknown side of a right triangle when the lengths of the hypotenuse and one side are known. This is based on the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Step 1: Calculate the Unknown Side (S2):

\[ S2 = \sqrt{10^2 - 6^2} = \sqrt{100 - 36} = \sqrt{64} = 8 \]

The unknown side (S2) is 8 units.
