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.
The pythagorean theorem is a+b=c. So, a+b equals two of the three sides. Using your knowledge of what those two sides are will help you with figuring out the third side, but technically, the pythagorean theorem is used only for right triangles. a and b are the two straight sides and c is the diagonal side. your welcome. 8th grader
The Pythagorean theorem, which is the square root of the sum of the squares of two sides of a right triangle is equal to the hypotenuse, can be used to find the distance between two points. This means that it can also be used to find the equation of a line.
You use the pythagorean theorem.
Find this using the Pythagorean theorem (a=(1/2 * 8) b=the altitude c = 6).
√29 ≈ ± 5.385165This is what the answer would be using the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse for a right triangle described with 2 sides of 5 and 2 units each.A2 + B2 = C252 + 22 = C225 + 4 = C229 = C2C=√29
14cm and 11cm what is the missing side using pythagorean theorem

Yes.
I have to prove http://s5.tinypic.com/19ldma.jpg http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/9263/mathhlproofou4.jpg without using pythagorean theorem
They can measure height and length from a distance using Pythagoras' theorem
Perimeter: 4 times square root of (3.5^2+6^2) = 2 times square root of 193 in cm
To find the perimeter of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem, first determine the lengths of the two legs (a and b) using the theorem, which states ( c^2 = a^2 + b^2 ), where c is the hypotenuse. Once you have the lengths of all three sides, simply add them together: perimeter ( P = a + b + c ). This formula can also be applied to other polygons by determining the lengths of each side and summing them.

Yes is you are using only straight ines, no if you are using arc segments.
You use the pythagorean theorem.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2
