When does the Pythagorean theorem apply?
With right angle triangles
What are the types of triangles that can use the Pythagorean theorem?
Right angle triangles
Can Pythagorean Theorem be used on all types of triangles?
No it can only be used with right angle triangles.
What kind of triangles can you use with the Pythagorean Theorem?
Right triangles - those with a 90-degree angle.
Is Pythagorean theorem always a right triangle?
Yes Pythagoras' theorem is applicable to right angle triangles
When does the Pythagorean theorem apply?
With right angle triangles
What kind of triangles relate to Pythagorean theorem?
Right-Angle triangles
What are the types of triangles that can use the Pythagorean theorem?
Right angle triangles
What kind of triangles does the Pythagorean theorem work for?
All right angle triangles
Can Pythagorean Theorem be used on all types of triangles?
No it can only be used with right angle triangles.
What kind of triangles can you use with the Pythagorean Theorem?
Right triangles - those with a 90-degree angle.
Is Pythagorean theorem always a right triangle?
Yes Pythagoras' theorem is applicable to right angle triangles
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).
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
Whats the theorem used for right triangles?
The Pythagorean Theorem is a statement about triangles containing a right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem states that:"The area of the square built upon the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares upon the remaining sides."
How is the Pythagorean Theorem and Distance Formula the same?
Because they both involve right angle triangles
How does the pythagorean theorem benifet mankind?
it showed us how to determine the hypotenuse of right angle triangles
