斜边

一个直角三角形和它的斜边h直角边c1c2

斜边希腊语ὑποτείνουσα),亦称作,是直角三角形中最长的一条边,位于直角(90°角)对面。斜边的长度通常使用勾股定理计算。

弦一词来源

即“勾三股四弦五”,是勾股定理的一种特例,其中的指直角三角形的斜边[1]。勾股形一词源于古代中国人测量天文时会竖起一根称为“表”(圭表)的木竿,以光令“表”产生阴影,“表”与日影构成直角三角形两条直角边。此后,古代中国人便称“表”为股,阴影称为勾,两者间的斜边称为弦,只要测量勾、股长度便能粗略估计太阳高度[2]

斜边一词来源

斜边(hypotenuse)一词出自古希腊语 ὑποτείνουσα(hypoteinousa),是底部和斜边的意思[3]。另一个古希腊语的解释是意思是由斜边和其底部结合成。[4]

计算勾股定理

斜边长度通常是用平方根计算出来。举例说,如果x长3米,平方后就等于9平方米,y长4米的话,平方后则等于16平方米,两数相加后等于25平方米,将25平方米开方便能得出斜边长5米,数学标示为

有些科学计数机提供笛卡儿坐标系极坐标系的转换功能:当给予xy的值后,这功能给出斜边的长度和斜边与底线(即c1)相交的角。
