general

Solve for any side of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem (a² + b² = c²). Provide any two of the three sides (a, b, c) and the missing side is computed. Also returns the triangle area (0.5 * a * b), perimeter, and confirms it is a right triangle. Side c is always the hypotenuse. Fundamental to surveying, construction (squaring corners), navigation (distance calculations), physics (vector decomposition), and 3D graphics. Chain with slope_calc for coordinate geometry or square_root for simplified radical answers.
