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.
You can use pythagorean theorem twice to find the diagonal of a cube
pythagorean theorem was named from a greek mathemition called pythagorus (I think that's how you spell it)
The difference in the distance formula and the pythagorean theorem is that the distance formula finds the distance between two points while the pythagorean theorem usually finds the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Pythagoras
a2 + b2 = c2
the unknown measurement of a side of a triangle
Pythagorean theorem: A2 + B2 = C2

The formula is A2 + B2 = C2. This theorem only works for right triangles. A and B are the legs and C is the hypotenuse.
Oh yes, the Pythagorean Theorem has been proven.
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
If it is a right triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem. If it is iscossolese or scalene, draw line down middle, use pythagorean theorem to solve for missing side.
if you know the height and the apothem, use pythagorean theorem to solve for it.
Given the lengths of two sides of a right triangle, you can find the length of the other side.
Yes simply with a protractor and a measuring device.
