Question

Can someone explain to me how the Pythagorean theorem works??

Answer 1

By the Pythagorean theorem, it follows that the hypotenuse of this triangle has length c = √a2 + b2, the same as the hypotenuse of the first triangle. Since both triangles' sides are the same lengths a, b and c, the triangles are congruent and must have the same angles. ... If a2 + b2 = c2, then the triangle is right.
