Right Triangle Calculator

    Calculate right-triangle legs, hypotenuse, acute angles, area, perimeter, altitude to hypotenuse, projections, medians, and circle radii.

    The diagram highlights the values to enter. The right angle is at vertex C.

    Choose two independent measurements. Enter all lengths in one unit; area is reported in square units.

    Right triangle sides, angles, and area

    Right-triangle calculator results in English search usually include the missing side, both acute angles, area, perimeter, and useful secondary values. This page solves those from common side and angle combinations.

    The hypotenuse c is found from the two legs a and b.

    A right triangle area is half the product of its legs.

    Use one length unit throughout a calculation. Linear outputs use that unit, surface areas use square units, and volume uses cubic units.
