Well to put it simply if 'b' was taken out of the equation it simply wouldn't work.

here is a ritten example: a^2+b^2=c^2

a=2 b=3

now 2^2=4 and 3^2=9 so c^2= 13

now if we remove 'b': a^2=c^2

if a=2 as in our last example then this equation would be telling us: 2=13 and we all know 13 does not equal 2

How do you find the unknown length of a triangle?

If two sides are given and you need to know the length of the third side use the Pythagrean Theorem formula. Then you find the square root. c² = a² + b²* * * * *That is useful only if the triangle is a right angled triangle. Most are not. The correct answer depends on what information you do have.


What is the Pythagorean theorem used for?

....It can help us find the length of the "HYPOTENUSE" easier.....The Pythagorian Theorem is used to find the missing length of one side of a triangle. A^2 + B^2 = C^2


How do you find the missing side from a right triangle?

to find the missing side of a right triangle you need the pythagorean theorem. A2 + B2 = C2. c is the longest side and a and b is the other sides. no particular side is a or b just the longest side is c.


In the pythagorean theorem is b twice of a?

In the Pythagorean Theorem b is not twice a. The formula is [ a squared + b squared = c squared].

How do you find the side length of a right triangle if you have two side length?

You use the Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2. Variables a and b are the shorter sides; c is the hypotenuse. Just plug the values for the sides into the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for the missing side.

How can you find a missing side or angle of a right triangle?

180 minus two known angle = missing angle. Use Pythagoras' theorem to find its missing side.


What is one way to find the missing side length?

One way to find a missing side length of a triangle is to use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²). If you know the lengths of two sides, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the missing side. For example, if you have the lengths of the two legs (a and b), you can find the hypotenuse (c) by calculating c = √(a² + b²).
