Question

In two or more complete sentences, explain the theorem used in solving for the range of possible lengths of the third

side, AB of ^ABC

Answer 1

pythagorean theorem - The length of the hypotenuse squared will always equal the sum of A squared and B sqaured. The equation is A^2 + B^2 = C^2.

Explanation:

For Example

A = 4 A^2 = 16

B = 2 B^2 = 4

C = ? C^2 = ?

16 + 4 = 20

`√(20)` ≈ 4.5

C/Hypotenuse = 4.5
