Can it be a squared plus c squared equals b squared using pythagorean theorem?

No. The pythagorean theorem is a2+b2=c2 so if you want to solve for b2 you'd have to subract a2 from both side. Doing so leaves b2 = c2 - a2.
In addition, a2 cannot equal 0 since a, b, and c represent sides of a triangle and you cannot have a triangle with a side length of 0.

How do you figure out the lengths on all sides of a right triangle?
by using the Pythagorean theorem: a squared + b squared = c squared where a and b are the two legs and c is the hypotenuse
Can you find distance using the pythagorean theorem?
Yes.
How do you prove the hypotenuse leg theorem without using Pythagorean theorem?

If a equals 6 and b equals 8 and c equals 9 does it form a right triangle?
No it does not. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, a2 + b2 = c2. (2's representing "squared") You will find the sides do not add up properly. You end up with 36+64=81 and 100 does not equal 81. It is not a Right Triangle.
How do you find the lengths of two sides of a triangle using Pythagorean theorems?
To find the lengths of two sides of a triangle using the Pythagorean theorem, you would need to know the length of the third side. Once you have that information, you can use the theorem to calculate the lengths: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the two smaller sides of the triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse. Rearrange the formula to solve for the unknown side lengths.
How do you find A in a triangle while using pythagreon Theorem?
You do the Pythagorean Theorem backwards, C squared- B squared = A squared, you should probably try A squared in the formula going forward before you answer the question and turn it in. :)

How do you find the perimeter of a triangle using the pythagorean theorem?
The pythagorean theorem is a+b=c. So, a+b equals two of the three sides. Using your knowledge of what those two sides are will help you with figuring out the third side, but technically, the pythagorean theorem is used only for right triangles. a and b are the two straight sides and c is the diagonal side. your welcome. 8th grader

How do architects benefit from pythagorean theorem?
They can measure height and length from a distance using Pythagoras' theorem

How do you find the perimeter of a parallelogram using Pythagorean theorem?
you can't, because the Pythagorean theorem is for right triangles and the triangles formed by the diagonal of a parallelogram are not right triangles.

How does knowledge of simplifying radicals help when using the Pythagorean Theorem?
hello
Do 5 12 13 form a right angled triangle?
Yes they do for a triangle using Pythagorean theorem 5 squared + 12 squared = 13 squared
How do you find an answer using the pythagorean theorem?
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angle triangle that the square of its hypotenuse is equal to the sum of its squared sides or a^2 + b^2 = c^2 whereas a and b are the sides with c being the hypotenuse.
