Question

1. What is the formula for Pythagorean Theorem

2. What does the A represent
3. What does the B represent
4. What does the C represent
5. Pythagorean Theorem can be used with what SPECIFIC shape?
6. If A= 4, and B = 5, what is length of the hypotenuse? Show all work

Answer 1

The formula is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Explanation:

A and B are legs and C is the hypothunisis.

The theorem is used for triangles.

4^2 + 5^2 = c^2

16 + 25 = c^2

41 = c^2

sqr(41) = sqr(c)^2

c = 6.403124237
