First of all, when you talk about making up a paper with a pen or a computer,

learn the difference between "right" and "write". It's important, and you can

probably get it right without a spell-checker.

Now, what to write in the paper:

-- Introduction: Say "This paper will tell about the Pythagorean Theorem and

how it's used."

-- State the Pythagorean Theorem

-- Two or three sentences about who Pythagoras was, and why we remember him

after so many centuries. (He must have been pretty smart, and discovered stuff

that we still use now.)

-- Explain what his Theorem means.

-- Make up one or two examples.

-- It would really be great if you could find an example of where it's used by somebody

on their real job, like maybe a surveyor or a carpenter, and give that example too in the

paper. Don't forget to write that you went out and found it outside of school. That's

extra credit for sure.

-- Conclusion: State the Pythagorean Theorem again, and promise that you'll never

forget it as long as you live.

What shape does the Pythagorean theorem use?

The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.


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.


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.


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).


How do you find the perimeter of a parallelogram using Pythagorean theorem?

you can't, because the Pythagorean theorem is for right triangles and the triangles formed by the diagonal of a parallelogram are not right triangles.


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 does the pythagorean theorem apply to?

right angled triangles


When does the Pythagorean theorem apply?

With right angle triangles


What triangles does Pythagoras theorem include?

The Pythagorean theorem only includes right triangles


What theorem is used to find the lengths of any right triangle?

Pythagorean theorem


What is the pythagorean theorem and where did it come from?

The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find side lengths of right triangles. It came from the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras.


Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on all triangles?

No, the pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles, but it will work on any right triangle. This is because the Pythagorean Theorem states that length of Leg A squared plus the length of Leg B Squared equals the length of the hypotenuse squared. A hypotenuse is always found opposite a right angle. Only right triangles have right angles; therefore, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles. :D
