Can pythagorean theorem be proved by 3D figure?
Yes Pythagoras' theorem can be used to find the interior diagonal of a cube for example.
Who named the pythagorean theorem?
pythagorean theorem was named from a greek mathemition called pythagorus (I think that's how you spell it)
How do you use Pythagorean theorem when you only know one side of the triangle?
Since the Pythagorean theorem has 3 variables (the 3 sides), and you only know one variable, you cannot use it to solve for the other 2 variables. Do you know any other information (like angles)? that can be used to solve the triangle (you would not be using the Pythagorean theorem, though). Did they mark the 2 legs with little 'tick marks' denoting that they are equal? Then you could use the Pythagorean theorem because then you know 2 varaibles, and you can solve for the third variable.
What is the difference in the distance formula and the Pythagorean theorem?
The difference in the distance formula and the pythagorean theorem is that the distance formula finds the distance between two points while the pythagorean theorem usually finds the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Who created the pythagorean theorem?
Pythagoras
What shape does the Pythagorean theorem use?
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
What jobs use the Pythagorean Theorem?
You would use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to determine the length of a side on a right triangle.ORYou might use the Pythagorean Theorem if you are carpenter or builder. A carpenter might use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) or the length of the wall or roof. Use can use this methed or theorem in any building situation.
How do architects use the pythagorean theorem?
Architects use the Pythagorean theorem to check distances, heights, etc...that cant be measured
Can pythagorean theorem be proved by 3D figure?
Yes Pythagoras' theorem can be used to find the interior diagonal of a cube for example.
Do you use the Pythagorean theorem in singing?
no
What is a theme for a math project?
You could use the Pythagorean Theorem and many triangles You could use the Pythagorean Theorem and many triangles
What jobs do you use pythagorean theorem?
A land surveyor would use this theorem.
Did Newton use the Pythagorean theorem?
yes
Converse of Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
What countries use Pythagoras theorem?
Most countries recognize the Pythagorean Theorem
Do biological scientists use the Pythagorean theorem?
Yes.
Can you use pythagorean theorem to find x on a right triangle?
It depends on what x is and what information you have. For example, if no side lengths are known, the Pythagorean theorem is not going to be any use!
