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 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.
How do you find the perimeter with one side missing?
14cm and 11cm what is the missing side using pythagorean theorem
What Shape is the Pythagrean Therom used on?
it is used on right triangles which is a triangle with a 90 degree angle. a^2+b^2=c^2 the c^2 is always the longest side.
How do you find Missing side of a right angle?
If there is no length for the hypotenuse you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem. If there are two sides missing and a reference angle you could use Trigonometry.
What is the pathagrium theorem?
(a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2)
What are the aspects of Pythagoras theorem?
There are 19 various aspects of Pythagoras theorem. Pythagorean Theorem (1) Pythagoras Theorem(2) Pythagorean Theorem (3) Pythagorean Theorem (4) Pythagoras Theorem(5) Pythagorean Theorem(6) Pythagrean Theorem(7) Pythagoras Theorem(8) Pythagorean Theorem (9) Hyppocrates' lunar Minimum Distance Shortest Distance Quadrangular Pyramid (1) Quadrangular Pyramid (2) Origami Two Poles Pythagoras Tree(1) Pythagoras Tree(2) Theorem by Pappus
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].
Why is pythagorus theorem useful?
to find the missing side of a triangle
How do you find the perimeter with one side missing?
14cm and 11cm what is the missing side using pythagorean theorem
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.
which statement is missing from the following proof theorem: vertical angles are congruent.?
A+
What is elementary terminology in logic math?
De Morgan's theorem. A and B -> not A or not B A or B -> not A and not B
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 Shape is the Pythagrean Therom used on?
it is used on right triangles which is a triangle with a 90 degree angle. a^2+b^2=c^2 the c^2 is always the longest side.
