Question

What is the pythagorean theorem formula

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{A^2+B^2=C^2}`

The formula is A^2+B^2=C^2.

An example of using to solve a problem is below.

Let's say we have a right triangle with a and b given but we are missing c.

A and B are called "Legs" While C is called the Hypotenuse.

A= 12 and B= 16.

Lets solve it.

`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}A^2+B^2=C^2\\12^2+16^2=C^2\\144+256=400\\Now,\;we\;need\;to\;find\;the\;square\;root\;of\;400.\\√(400)= 40\\If\;it\;were\;to\;be\;a\;decimal\;such\;as\;40.162\;we\;would\;round\;to\\the\;nearest\;tenths\;and\;get\;40.2\end{array}\right]`

Thus, our final answer is 40.

Answer 2

pythagorean theorem formula= a^{2}+ b^{2}= c^{2}
