Hypotenuse c = 5.

  • The triangle has legs 3 and 4, and hypotenuse 5 (all in the same base unit).
  • Acute angles: alpha = 36.87 deg (opposite leg a), beta = 53.13 deg (opposite leg b). They always sum to 90 deg.
  • The altitude from the right angle to the hypotenuse is 2.4 - it is the geometric mean of the two segments it creates on the hypotenuse.
