Question

What is pythogeriam therem

Answer 1

Let us consider a right angled triangle.

In the triange, angle CAB is 90.

The base is AB , the height or altitude is, AC and the third side BC is called hypotenuse.

According to Pythagoras theorem ,if the length of two sides are given , the third side can be calculated as,

`\text{Hypotenuse}^2=base^2+altitude^2`

This is Pythagoras theorem. So in the drwan triangle we have,

`\begin{gathered} BC^2=AB^2+AC^2 \\ BC=\sqrt[]{AB^2+AC^2} \end{gathered}`
