The Pythagorean Theory applies to right angle triangles. If your isosceles triangle happens to also be a right triangle, the formula is a² + b² = c² where a and b are the sides and c is the hypotenuse. To calculate the length of a side, it is necessary to know which side the 5cm segment refers to (either side or the hypotenuse).
What else can I help you with?
Does the Pythagorean theorem work on isosceles triangles?
it depens if the isosceles triangle is a right triangle or not
Is Pythagorean theorem applicable on isosceles right triangle?
YES
What shape does the Pythagorean theorem use?
The Pythagorean theorem uses the 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.
Converse of Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
What is the Converse of isosceles triangle theorem?
The isosceles triangle theorem states that if two sides of a triangle are congruent, the angles opposite of them are congruent. The converse of this theorem states that if two angles of a triangle are congruent, the sides that are opposite of them are congruent.
Does pythagorean theorem prove a triangle to be a right triangle?
Yes
What is the difference between the pythagorean theorem and the converse of the pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, a2 + b2 = c2. The converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that, if in a triangle with sides a, b, c, a2 + b2 = c2 then the triangle is right and the angle opposite side c is a right angle.
If an isosceles triangle has a leg of 6 and a base of 8 what is the altitude?
Find this using the Pythagorean theorem (a=(1/2 * 8) b=the altitude c = 6).
What type of triangle can you use pythagorean theorem for?
any right triangle
What is pythagoreas triplet?
the sides of a triangle on which the Pythagorean theorem can be applied is called Pythagorean triplet
What type of triangle must you have in order to use the Pythagorean Theorem?
A right triangle.
