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. :-)

Do the side lengths 9 15 and 12 form a right triangle?
Yes they do. We find this by applying the pythagorean theorum. Since 9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2, they form a right triangle.
How do you use a Pythagorean theorem with cube?
You can use pythagorean theorem twice to find the diagonal of a cube
How do you use Pythagorean theorem when you only know one side of the triangle?
Since the Pythagorean theorem has 3 variables (the 3 sides), and you only know one variable, you cannot use it to solve for the other 2 variables. Do you know any other information (like angles)? that can be used to solve the triangle (you would not be using the Pythagorean theorem, though). Did they mark the 2 legs with little 'tick marks' denoting that they are equal? Then you could use the Pythagorean theorem because then you know 2 varaibles, and you can solve for the third variable.
Given the coordinates of two points in the plane you can use either the Distance Formula or the Pythagorean Theorem?
Answer: True
How do you find a pythagorean triple?
There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples. To find a Pythagorean triple take two positive integers x, y with x > y. A Pythagorean triple is of the form x2 - y2, 2xy, x2 + y2.
Who is Pythagorean Theorom?
Pyhthagoras was a guy who had a theorum!
How do you solve for a right triangle?
Pythagorean theorum.
How did Pythgorus influence ancient greek?
the pythagorean theorum
Pythagoras was author of which scientific theory?
Pythagorean Theorum
Who was the only us president to prove pythagoras theorum?
James A. Garfield
What president had proof of the pythagorean theorem?
James Garfield
Who invented the pythagorean formula?
The Pythagorean Theorum was supposedly invented by Pythagoras during the Renaissance, but there is no proof or record. He is also said to have had a school to teach about mathematical and philosophical topics, for he was also said to be a widely known philosopher.
What shape other than a triangle did president Garfield use in his proof of the Pythagorean theorem?
its obvious lines a triangle has lines doesn't it
Who invented the pythagorean theorem?
Pythagoras of Samos was an Ionian Greek mathematician who founded a religious movement and came up with Pythagorean Theorum. Other theories include arguments that the theory predates him, or that it was rediscovered and popularized by one of his students.
When did James Garfield prove the pythagorean theorem?
Somewhere around 1875 and 1876
How have people proven that the pythagorean theorem works?
yes former pres. jamrs garfield proved it .
What is the Contribution of Pythagoras to trigonometry?
Pythagoras discovered many of the properties of what would become trigonometric functions. The Pythagorean Theorum, a2 + b2 = c2 is a representation of the fundemental trigonometric identity sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1. 1 is the hypotenuse of any right triangle, and has legs length sin(x) and cos(x) with x being one of the two non-right angles. With this in mind, the identity upon which trigonometry is based turs out to be the Pythagorean Theorum.
