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.
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.
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.
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.
What is the difference in the distance formula and the Pythagorean theorem?
The difference in the distance formula and the pythagorean theorem is that the distance formula finds the distance between two points while the pythagorean theorem usually finds the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
