What is the Pythagorean theorem?

It states that in the right angle triangle the hypotenuse square is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

By using the Pythagorean theorem:-

H²  =  P²  +   B²

H²   =  16²   +   28²

H   =  √1040

H  = 32.2 inches

Therefore the length of the hypotenuse will be equal to 32.2 inches.
