How can you determine whether or not the sides of a triangle form a right triangle using Pythagorean triples?
If the lengths of the sides of the triangle can be substituted for 'a', 'b', and 'c'in the equationa2 + b2 = c2and maintain the equality, then the lengths of the sides are a Pythagorean triple, and the triangle is a right one.
Sets of Pythagorean triples?
3,4,5 1,2,3 these are sets of pythagorean triples
Converse of Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
Where does Pythagorean come from?
'Pythagorean' is the 'adjective for 'Pythagoras'. {ythagoras was a Classical Greek mathematician who gave us the equation h^2 = a^(2) + b^(2) . In words, 'The square of the hypotenuse(h) is equal to the sum of the other two sides squared'. NB This only applies to 'right-angled' triangles (trigons).
