Question

The triangle is a right triangle with the right angle marked. Which equation correctly expresses The Pythagorean Theorem for this triangle?​

Answer 1

Hey there!

The pythagorean theorem states that the square of one leg plus the square of another leg is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

Thus, r^2+s^2=t^2.

This can be a challenging topic, and if you need a further explanation, let me know. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer: Choice B

r^2 + s^2 = t^2

The legs are length r and s. Square them and add the squares to get the square of the hypotenuse t. The hypotenuse is always opposite the 90 degree angle.
