To find the larger side you add the 2 legs together, for the smaller sides you subtract the other 2 legs :)
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.

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.
The square of the hypotenuse minus the square of the leg you know will give you the square of the unknown leg.
Pythagorean theorem a2 + b2 = c2 You have to know at least two of the sides See the below link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2. It is used for right triangles. If you know two of the sides, you can use the theorem to find the third side.

If you drive 9 miles north from your house, then turn and drive 12 miles east, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate that you wind up 15 miles from home. You don't need a graph at all to do that. You just have to know the Pythagorean theorem.
If you know the coordinates, use the Pythagorean Theorem: take the square root of ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2).If you know the coordinates, use the Pythagorean Theorem: take the square root of ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2).If you know the coordinates, use the Pythagorean Theorem: take the square root of ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2).If you know the coordinates, use the Pythagorean Theorem: take the square root of ((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2).
I'm not very sure but I know there is over 300.
the Pythagorean theorem helps find the value of the longest side in a right triangle if you know the value of the base and the height.

If you know the length of the sides but not the diagonal, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of a certain side in a right triangle. If you know the length of two sides of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, a2+ b2 = c2, to find the length of the other side. In the formula, c is the hypotenuse, which the longest side of the triangle.
