Question

What is the Pythagorean Theorem used for right triangles

Answer 1

Explanation:

Used t find missing side angles when two sides are present. For example, if you have a short leg and a long leg, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotaneus and vse versa, using it to find the short or long leg if the other two are given.

Answer 2

The Pythagorean theorem consists of a formula a^2+b^2=c^2 which is used to figure out the value of (mostly) the hypotenuse in a right triangle. The a and b are the 2 "non-hypotenuse" sides of the triangle (Opposite and Adjacent).
