Best Answer

you take the 2 legs of a triangle

a=leg one b=leg two c=hypotenuse

a2+b2=c2 <----- this is the formula

you use exponents and square a and b then you add them and then you have c but then you need to square root it and you have the length of the hypotenuse

What are a carpet's dimensions if one side of the carpet is seven meters shorter than the length and the diagonal is one meter longer than the length?

12 meters long, 5 meters wide. Diagonal = 13 meters. Solve and prove with Pythagorean therum : 12 squared (144) + 5 squared (25) = 13 squared (169).


What is the pythagorean therum?

The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. This is one answer. the formula for the pythagorean therum is A2+ B2=C2. Say you have the length "a" at 6 inches and "b" at 8 inches. Your equation is 62+82=C2 or 36+64=100. Now you have to find the quare root of 100 or "c" because up above you had c2. that is different from a2+b2=c. The square root of 100 is 10. The length of your hypotenuse is 10.

The pythagorean theorem can be used to solve what?

the unknown measurement of a side of a triangle


Any problem of geometry which should be solve by algebra as well as geometry?

well, i think the answer to your question is getting the measurement of the side using the Pythagorean Thereom, with the formula:c2=a2+b2.
