Use the Pythagorean theorem to answer this question. In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The equation usually looks like this: c2 = a2 + b2, where c is the hypotenuse; a and b are the other two sides. In this example, 1222 = 222 + b2. Solving for b, b2 = 14884 - 484, b2 = 14,400, b = square root of 14,400 or 120.
