a2+b2= c2where c is the hypotenuse or the longest side (side opposite the right angle or the side oppositeTo 90 degrees); a and b are other sides of the triangle.

Its useful when you need to find the length of any one side of a right angled traingle.

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!


What is the impulse momentum theorem?

The impulse momentum theorem states that the change in momentum of an object is equal to the impulse applied to it. Mathematically, it is represented as FΔt = Δp, where F is the force applied, Δt is the time over which the force is applied, and Δp is the change in momentum of the object. This theorem is useful in analyzing collisions and calculating the effects of forces on objects.
