Which of the following equations represent the Pythagorean theorem? A. c = \sqrt{ {a}^(2) } + {b}^(2) B. m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) C. c= a+b D. ab=ba

Question

Which of the following equations represent the Pythagorean theorem?

A. c =

`\sqrt{ {a}^(2) } + {b}^(2)`
B. m =

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`
C. c= a+b
D. ab=ba

Answer 1

There's no equation represent the pythagorean theorem in the options. The option A is closed to pythagorean theorem, except the b² should be under root.

Pythagorean Theorem is supposed to be like this

`c= \sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2)}`
