Is it true that the law of cosines reduces the Pythagorean theorem with right triangles?

Yes


Is it true that Pythagorean theorem can only be used for right-angled triangles?

Yes. The Pythagorean Theorem is true for only right triangles. However, a variety of other similar equations can be used for other triangle types. Law of Sines: a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC Law of Cosines: c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab*cosC


Example of theorem?

A theorem in math is defined as a result that has been proved to be true using facts that were known. An example of this is the Pythagorean Theorem for right triangles a^2 + b^2 = c^2.


Is the pythagorean theorem true for an acute triangle?

No, the Pythagorean Theorem only works on right triangles. You could use the law of cosines, though: c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab*cos(C) Where C is the measure of the angle between sides a and b.


The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. true or false?

True


Who developed the theory a plus b equals c?

A Mathematician named Pythagorean. That is why it is called Pythagorean's theorem. For every right triangle, this theorem will be true.


Do contractor use the pythagorean theorem?

Yes it is a way of checking a true right angle.


A valid argument which shows that a mathematical statement called a theorem is true?

Pythagoras' theorem is only theorem regarding right angle triangles but it is true.


Is Pythagorean theorem is derived from the distance formula?

Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.


The square of the longest leg equals the square root of the sum of the two other legs?

This refers to the Pythagorean Theorem that holds true for right triangles. This theorem expresses the relationships among the three sides of a right triangle. The longest leg is the hypotenuse and is opposite the right angle.


With similar triangles the corresponding angles are equal True or False?

True. With similar triangles the corresponding angles are equal.
