What type of triangle proves the pythagorean theorerm?
The Pythagorean Theorem applies only to right triangles. (But they don't prove it.)
What type of triangle can you use pythagorean theorem for?
any right triangle
What type of triangle is the pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem is not a triangle. It's a statement that describes a relationship among the lengths of the sides in any right triangle.
What if the pythagorean theorem gives you a triangle that is not right?
The pythagorean theorem is only used for a right triangle. Formula: a^2+b^2=c^2 the "a" and "b" represent the legs of the triangle and the "c" represents the hypotenuse.
What set of numbers is a pythagorean triangle?
Pythagorean triplets

What type of triangle must you have in order to use the Pythagorean Theorem?
A right triangle.
Can the pythagorean theorem can be used for any type of triangle?
No. The Pythagorean theorem applies only to right triangles...those containing a right angle (90 degrees).
What type of triangle is described by the pythagorean relationship?
A right triangle - one of the angles has to be 90 degrees

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.
Explain in the pythagorean theorem must be a right triangle?
yes it only apllies to the right triangle and "c" is the hypotnuse of the triangles
Does pythagorean theorem prove a triangle to be a right triangle?
Yes
What shape does the Pythagorean theorem use?
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
