Right-triangle formula?

Hello all: I have to calculate the following... If TWO adjacent sides of a right-triangle (corner) are 32 inches each, how long is the THIRD side? Guess I could measure it, but that's no fun. If I remember rite, there's a straight-ahead formula for this calculation. Problem is, I don't remember! It's been a while since high-school geometry. Know what I mean? Thanks, JET...

something like that? it's in german, but has also some pics... http://www.didmath.ewf.uni-erlangen.de/ ... goras.html cheers Roman

Sillybird: Beautiful man, t h a n k s! JET...

you're welcome! cross check, whats your result? mine is 45.25 inches... cheers Roman

Roman: YES! Good ol' Pythagoras. Wonder if he had a studio too? JET... (John)

John, hehe, i'm quite shure he had a studio, but not shure it was a studio for music productions :-D cheers Roman

that's the pythagorean theorem. a(sq)+ b(sq) = c(sq) in english :) and just to note, it only works with right triangles. one side (squared) plus another side (squared) equals the square of the third side, which you just have to find the square root of that third side's number and you'd have the length of the third side. EDITED for clarity
