Question

State the Pythagorean Theorem and how would you use it to find a missing side or missing hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Answer 1

Pythagorean Theorem: A² + B² = C²

You would use it to find a missing side or missing hypotenuse of a right triangle by pluggin in all of the known values of the triangle into the equation and then solving it.

Explanation:

C² is the hypotenuse of the triangle (the longest side, and the side that is opposite the right angle).

A² and B² are the remaining two sides.
