How to use this table

Find the row closest to your leg a and read across to the hypotenuse (c). For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Pythagorean Theorem Calculator for a precise answer.

Need a value that is not in the table? — the Pythagorean Theorem Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.

Frequently asked questions

Each cell is computed with the standard formula using exact arithmetic — the same calculation behind our Pythagorean Theorem Calculator — so every figure is accurate for the stated assumptions.

Yes. The table covers common leg a values; for any exact figure, enter your own numbers in the Pythagorean Theorem Calculator.
