About this calculator
The Right Triangle Calculator is a browser-based tool that helps you find the area and perimeter of the shape. You enter your leg a and leg b, and it applies standard area and perimeter formulas to return the area and perimeter. Everything runs locally — no sign-up, no uploads, nothing stored — so it stays fast and private.
Whether you need it once or every day, Right Triangle Calculator produces the area and perimeter in a clean, readable layout. It runs entirely on your device, so it's quick to reach for and private to use.
How to use
- Enter the length of leg a.
- Enter the length of leg b.
- Press Calculate to solve the right triangle.
- Read the hypotenuse, area, perimeter, and the two acute angles.

Technical notes
Right Triangle Calculator applies the Pythagorean theorem a² + b² = c² together with the basic trigonometric ratios.
Results assume exact, idealised shapes; real-world measurement error is not included.
The tool works offline once loaded, since every computation is client-side.
FAQ
How is the hypotenuse calculated from two legs?
It is the square root of leg a squared plus leg b squared, by the Pythagorean theorem.
How are the acute angles found?
Each acute angle comes from the arctangent of the ratio of the opposite leg to the adjacent leg.
Do the two acute angles always add up to 90 degrees?
Yes. In a right triangle the two non-right angles always sum to 90 degrees.
Does the Right Triangle Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Right Triangle Calculator runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.
Worked example
Legs 3 and 4: hypotenuse = √(3²+4²) = √25 = 5, area = ½ × 3 × 4 = 6.
