a(squared)+b(squared)=c(squared) The largest number is the c, and you can choose the a and b, since you need to find the a or the b.
For example: You have the numbers 3, and 5 and you needed to find b.
a(squared+b(squared)=c(squared)
3(squared)+b(squared)=5(squared)
9+b(squared)=25
-9 -9
b(squared)=16 Then take the square root
b=4

How do you find the pythagorean theorem of a triangle?
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2. It is used for right triangles. If you know two of the sides, you can use the theorem to find the third side.
What theorem is used to find the lengths of the sides of any right triangle?
Pythagoras' theorem
Did Pythagoras find the Pythagorean theorem?
Although the mathematical facts of the theorem existed - even before humans did - the theorem itself did not exist until Pythagoras thought of it. In that sense, he did not FIND it because it did not exist until he had thought of it.
What is the use of pick's theorem?
The use of Pick's Theorem is to find the area of polygons when they are located on a lattice grid.
How do you find resultant displacement?
by using pytagorean theorem
