The Pythagorean theorem can be done this way.
a²+b²=c²
lets say that you have a triangle with three sides, but you are only given two. Their values are 3 and 4. Now you have to fill in the values with a=3 and b=4 (doesn't matter which order you put it in)
3²+4²=c²
c is still unknown so we have to do the next step.
3² is 9 and 4² is 16. knowing this, we have to do this next:
9+16=c²
9+16 is 25.
25=c²
now you must get rid of the ². you do this by using the square root.
don't ask me why you square root, that's just how the Pythagorean theorem works.
√25=√c²
the square root gets rid of the c squared so its just the square root of 25.
5=c
triangle sides: 3,4,5
The process can also be reversed.
a²=c²-b²
or
b²=c²-a²

What is the standard form of the pythagorean theorem?
the standard form of the Pythagorean Theorem is :a2 + b2 = c2
What are the types of Pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2
Who formulated pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem gets its name from the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. He was one of the first to offer proof of the theorem.
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].
Who had the pythagorean theorem first?
Since the Pythagorean theorem is named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, it was reasonable to assume that he is the first person to have it.
Was the Pythagorean Theorem proven?
Oh yes, the Pythagorean Theorem has been proven.
What shape does the Pythagorean theorem use?
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.

What rhymes with the Pythagorean theorem?
?
Who named the pythagorean theorem?
pythagorean theorem was named from a greek mathemition called pythagorus (I think that's how you spell it)
Converse of Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
