yes the pythegorean theorem (a2x b2=c2) is used for right triangles a and b are the legs (the sides that make up the right triangle) and c is the hypothenus(the longest side)

How can a lawyer use Pythagorean Theorem?

If needed, I guess. I do not see lawyers needing the Pythagorean Theory in their work and lawyers are notoriously ignorant of math and science.


What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle?

Oh honey, you're talking about that Pythagorean theorem stuff. The length of the hypotenuse is calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides. So grab your calculator and get ready to do some math, darling.


How long is the diagonal of a 24 ft by 30 ft rectangle?

Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the math questions now? Okay, okay, let me think. So, the diagonal of a rectangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, right? So, it's like the square root of (24 squared + 30 squared). That's like 36 feet. So, the diagonal of a 24 ft by 30 ft rectangle is 36 feet.


What is the world's longest algebra equation?

According to Sciencealert, the longest math equation contains around 200 terabytes of text. Called the Boolean Pythagorean Triples problem, it was first proposed by California-based mathematician Ronald Graham, back in the 1980s.


A conical tent of 56m base diameter requires 3080sqm curved surfacefind it's height?

Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem we have here! To find the height of the conical tent, we first need to calculate the slant height using the curved surface area formula: π * base diameter * slant height = curved surface area. So, in this case, the slant height would be 3080 / (π * 56) = approximately 17.5m. Then, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height by considering the radius, slant height, and height as a right triangle. Happy calculating!
