If you have two straight lines AB and BC such that the two lines meet at B and AB and BC make 90 degrees with each other then the pythagorean theory (theoram) states that the length of line AC (assume that points A and C are joined by a straight line) then (AC) squared = (AB) squared +(BC) squared

∙ 12y agophythagorean theorem states this:If one constructs a right-angled triangle and then makes a square,using the hypotenuse(longest side) as one side,the area of that square will be equal to the sum of the squares of the of the other two sides combined.

The figures show the first two steps of a proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Which statement about this proof is false?
A. The proof demonstrates that a2 + b2 = c2.
B. The area of the final square is equal to the area of a triangle with a hypotenuse of c
C. The area of the square with side length c is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares in step 1.
D. The figure in step 2 is transformed into a square with side length c.

∙ 13y agoThe pythagorean theorem is a squared + b squared = c squared, where a and b are the legs of a right triangle, and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

∙ 11y agoa2 + b2 = c2, where a and be are the shorter sides, and c is the longer side (the side opposite the right angle).

Did Isaac newton co create the binomial theorem?
yes Isaac Newton created the binomial theorem
Does science offer conclusive proof for a theory?
Sometimes Yes, as in Pythagoras' Theorem. Other times No, for as Godel's Incompleteness Theorem shows, there will be complete bodies of knowledge in which there will be truths that cannot be proven, and falsities which cannot be denied. [I paraphrase his theorem.]
Which is an example of thory tht has been proved true?
A THEORY that has been proved true would become a THEOREM. One example is the Pythagorean Theorem, a very famous math theorem that tells that in a right triangle, the squared lengths of both legs (sides adjacent to the right angle) add up to the squared length of the hypotenuse (side opposite the right angle). Theorem: a and b are legs, c is the hypotenuse. a^2+b^2=c^2, as with the example 3^2+4^2=5^2 9 + 16 =25
Is it true that any hunch you have is a good as a scientific theory?
a theorem rather, it has to be proven to become an accepted theory.
What makes something a theory in science?
An Hypothesis is a guess as to the relationship between two things. A Theory is a provable relationship between two things. Example would include Pythagoras Theorem. A theorem will reliably predict a result and explain the connection. Sometimes Theories are called Laws - such as Ohm's Law, Boyle's Law, Laws of refraction and so on.
Is the phythagorean theorem the exact measurement?
Yes, the Pythagorean theorem gives the exact measurements always. It can be backed up by proofs and sin, cosine, etc.
What is the importance of phythagorean theorem in studying triangles?
If you know the length of 2 sides of a triangle, you can always find the length of the third using Pythag. Pretty neat!
What is phythagorean theorem?
The formula for the Pythagorean Theorem is a2+b2=c2 :] The Pythagorean Theorem is finding the measurements in a right triangle. The side of the triangle across from the right angle is called the hypotenuse and the two other sides are called the legs :3 I hope I could help! <3
How do you use Phythagorean theorem?
When I was young and helping my Pa make the back porch he had me measure one side of the frame 4 feet then the other side 3 feet. He said that it was "square" when the distance between my two marks measured 5. 3 squared + 4 squared = 5 squared. That was the first time I used the Pythagorean Formula.
What is norton's theorem?
Norton's theorem is the current equivalent of Thevenin's theorem.
How do you solve a remainder theorem?
You cannot solve a theorem: you can prove the theorem or you can solve a question based on the remainder theorem.
What are the aspects of Pythagoras theorem?
There are 19 various aspects of Pythagoras theorem. Pythagorean Theorem (1) Pythagoras Theorem(2) Pythagorean Theorem (3) Pythagorean Theorem (4) Pythagoras Theorem(5) Pythagorean Theorem(6) Pythagrean Theorem(7) Pythagoras Theorem(8) Pythagorean Theorem (9) Hyppocrates' lunar Minimum Distance Shortest Distance Quadrangular Pyramid (1) Quadrangular Pyramid (2) Origami Two Poles Pythagoras Tree(1) Pythagoras Tree(2) Theorem by Pappus
What type of statement must be PROVEN in geometry?
That is a theorem.A theorem.
What is the definition of theorem in geometry?
theorem
Can a theorem be proven using a corollary?
No, a corollary follows from a theorem that has been proven. Of course, a theorem can be proven using a corollary to a previous theorem.
Why is the right angle triangle theorem named after pythagorus when Egyptian were using it to build the great pyramids 1500 year before he was born?
phythagorean theorema squared plus b squared equals c squaredImproved Answer:A possible explanation is that although the ancient Egyptians knew that in a right angled triangle 32+42 = 52 Pythagoras was the first person to suggest that pi*1.52+pi*2 = pi*2.52 (the areas of each sides as circles) but because no one knew then and even today knows the correct value of pi it became to be known as Pythagoras' Theorem.
Which is the hypotenuse-angle theorem?
It is Pythagoras' theorem
