What is the Pythagorean Method?

With right triangles. To find side length of a, b and c.a2 + b2 = c2=========


How do you use two right angled triangles to make a parallelogram?

If they are congruent right angle triangles then just join them together side by side to form a parallelogram.


Which congruence theorem guarantees that right angled triangles are congruent?

The checking for right-angled triangles is RHS:Right angle - they both haver a right angleHypotenuse - the hypotenuse of the triangles are congruentSide - a corresponding side of the triangles are congruent.


How is hypotenuse represented in right triangles?

It is the largest side


Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on all triangles with side length of 1?

It doesn't matter on the side length, but it MUST have a right angle.


What shape is made out of two right triangles?

Two right triangles, when joined together by their hypotenuses (the side opposite the right angle), will form a rectangle.


How do you make a triangle with 2 triangles and 1 rectangle?

If the 2 triangles are right triangles, which are congruent to slicing the rectangle on the diagonal, then arrange one on top of the rectangle, and the other to the side, so that the two hypotenuses are in line with each other. This will make a bigger right triangle, which is similar to the smaller right triangles - each side is double of the smaller triangles.


What are the properties of isosceles triangles?

All isosceles triangles: - Have angles that add up to 180 degrees - Have two equal sides. The unequal side is called the base. - Have equal base angles. - Have areas and perimeters that can be found using the formulas Area=1/2 X (base X height) and Perimeter=side+side+side An equilateral triangle with a right angle is called a right isosceles triangle. Also, all equilateral triangles are isoceles triangles, but not all isosceles triangles are right triangles.


Is it possible to have the same vertex but not the same common sides?

Assuming you are talking about two triangles, "meet at a side" means they have a shared side. This side has two vertices, each of which is a vertex of both triangles. However, if the triangles only share one vertex, so that the tip of one triangle touches the tip of the other, they will have no side in common.


Is the term hypotenuse associated with obtuse triangles?

No, it isn't. The term Hypotenuse is associated with right triangles. It is the longest side of the triangle, opposite the right angle.


What is the pythagorean theorem and where did it come from?

The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find side lengths of right triangles. It came from the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras.


Is it true that a right triangles longest side is called leg?

No it is the hypotenuse
