Common mistakes
- ⚠️ Adding legs directly instead of squaring first (5.5 + 12.3 ≠ hypotenuse)
- ⚠️ Forgetting to take square root after adding the squares
- ⚠️ Using this fórmula for non-right triangles where it doesn't apply
Worked example
Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 5.5m and 12.3m for roof rafter calculation
The hipotenusa ({hipotenusa}) is the longest side opposite the right angle; area_triangulo ({area_triangulo}) is half the product of legs; perimetro ({perimetro}) is total boundary length.
