The Pythagorean Theorem states that for a right triangle:

Hypotenuse^2 = side1^2 + side2^2, which we normally see as c^2 = a^2 + b^2.

c^2 = 3^2 + 4^ 2

c^2 = 9 +16

c^2 = 25

sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(25)

c = Hypotenuse = 5

It is the angle formed by the hypothenuse and the longest of the other sides


What is the conclusion of pythgoras theorem?

Pythogaras Theorem applies only to right-angled or right triangles. The theorem states that in any right angle triangle, the square of the lenght of the longest ( called the Hypothenuse) equals the sum of the squares of the other sides of the triangle

What is the meaning of hypothenuse?

a hypothenuse is a side of the triangle that is not a leg the hypothenuse formula is c2 = a2 + b2, where c is the lengt of the hypothenuse. The hypothenuse is the longest side of a triangle. That's why a triangle with 60 degree angles does not have a hypotenuse, onlye three sides of an equivalent length.

What does right isosceles mean?

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length. A right triangle has an interior angle of 90 degrees. A right isosceles triangle has both characteristics. The 90 degree angle will be the angle formed by the sides of equal length.
