What is the only type of triangle the Pythagorean Theorem can be used on without being given any other measurements besides the sides?
Simply because the Pythagorean Theorem is not true for any triangle that doesn't have a right angle in it. If a triangle has a right angle in it, then it satisfies the Theorem. If it hasn't, then it doesn't. And if it satisfies the Theorem, then it has a right angle in it, and if it doesn't, then it hasn't.
Why can't the Pythagorean theorem be used without a right angle?
The Pythagorean theorem is actually the law of cos, where the angle is 90.
How do you prove the hypotenuse leg theorem without using Pythagorean theorem?
I have to prove http://s5.tinypic.com/19ldma.jpg http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/9263/mathhlproofou4.jpg without using pythagorean theorem
How do you use the Pythagorean theorem without a graph?
If you drive 9 miles north from your house, then turn and drive 12 miles east, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate that you wind up 15 miles from home. You don't need a graph at all to do that. You just have to know the Pythagorean theorem.
How do you find the area of an equilateral triangle without knowing the height?
You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = area.

How do you measure an angle without using a protracter?
Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2
How can you find the length of a diagonal without measuring i?
If you know the length of the sides but not the diagonal, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Can you tell if a triangle is congruent without using the hypotenuse theorem?
no not really
How do you find out the slant height of a cone without using the Pythagorean theorem as it involves a lot of time that we may not get in cat xam?
Use trigonometry
How do you find the length of a hypotenuse without using the pythagorean theorem?
If you know one side (s) and the opposite angle (a) then the hypotenuse = s/sin a...
Why is Pythagoras' theorem useful?
well... one of its uses can be as follows: you see trigonometry deals with right angles right, so through the Pythagoras theorem you can find out the sides of the triangle, without which trig would be impossible!

You find the height by using Pythagoras' theorem and then 0.5*base*height = area.
How do you find area of a rectangle within a triangle?
It is not possible to answer the question without additional information about the triangle and the rectangle.
