Question

What is the Pythagorean theorem

Answer 1

The Pythagoras theorem states that:

The sum of the squares on the edges of a right triangle angle is equal to the squareon the hypotenuse.

Mathematically stated as: a² +b² = c²

Hope this helps.

Good luck ✅.

Answer 2

The Pythagoras theorem states that if a triangle is right-angled (90 degrees), then the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Observe the following triangle ABC, in which we have BC2 = AB2 + AC2. Here, AB is the base, AC is the altitude (height), and BC is the hypotenuse. It is to be noted that the hypotenuse is the longest side of a right-angled triangle.

Pythagoras Theorem Equation

The Pythagoras theorem equation is expressed as, c2 = a2 + b2, where 'c' = hypotenuse of the right triangle and 'a' and 'b' are the other two legs. Hence, any triangle with one angle equal to 90 degrees produces a Pythagoras triangle and the Pythagoras equation can be applied in the triangle.
