Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on squares?
No. The Pythagorean Theroem can ONLY be used on right triangles. Also, If you know one side of the square you know all sides of the square because a square has four equal sides.
If a triangle has side lengths a b and c and if a2 b2 c2 then the converse of the Pythagorean theorem says that the triangle is an?
Right triangle (apex)
If a triangle has side lengths a b and c and if a2 plus b2 equals c2 then what does the converse of the Pythagorean theorem says about the triangle?
That it is a right triangle with the longest side c facing the right angle.
How can you use the converse of the pythagorean theorem to tell whether three given lengths can be sides of triangles?
* To find the hypotenuse, take the square root of (a2 + b2). * To find either of the two shorter sides, take the square root of (c2 - b2)
What is the converse of if a shape is a rectangle then it is a parallelogram?
~(A => B) is ~B => ~A That is to say, the converse of "A implies B" is "the converse of B implies the converse of A". In this case: If a shape is not a parallelogram then it is not a rectangle.
