Question

Ella said that if she knows the lengths of just two sides of any triangle,

then she can find the length of the third side by using the Pythagorean
Theorem. Is Ella correct? Explain. Lesson 7-1

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

Pythagorean theorem is a^2+b^2 = c^2 where each letter is a side of a triangle. If you know 2 sides then there is only 1 unknown and 1 equation so you can easily find the third side by solving the equation.
