: a theorem in geometry: the square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides



ok? that's the dictonary deffination but the formula in a2+b2=c2

What is a pathagorean triple?

the pathagorean triple is when 3 whole numbers satisfy the pathagorean therom.


How do you do the pythagorean?

The therom is used to find right triangles. The fourmula is A squared plus B squared equals C squared. Right now draw a right triangle on a sheet of paper. The two strait lines label A and B then the slanted side C. C is called the hypotineus. Now make A 6 squared and B 9 squared. Then write the fourmula and fit in the numbers now find out what 6 and 9 squared are. After you will see that you will 36 for 6 squared and 81 for 9 squared, then add them together. You will get 117, C is the square root of 117 so that would become 10.816653 rounded. Then square it and you have your hypotineus, And you just did the pathagreon therom. :-)


How do you know if a triangle is a right triangle using the pythagorean therom?

We know that a right triangle is a triangle having a right angle, where the side opposite the right angle is the hypotenuse, and the perpendicular sides are the legs of the right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem gives the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangles. In the case where you know only the measure lengths of the sides of a triangle, you need to test these measures. If one of the sides of the triangle has a square measure equal to the sum of the square measures of two other sides, then this side is called the hypotenuse and opposite to this side is a 90 degree angle, which is a right angle. So, you can say that this triangle is a right triangle. Pythagorean triple are very helpful to determine a right triangle, such as: (3, 4, 5), (5,12,13), (8, 15, 17), (7, 24, 25), and (20, 21, 29).
