Depends on the calculator you have. Sometimes you can plug in y1=a^2+b^2
then you can do y2=sqrt (y1)
Or you could do that all as one step and so
y1=Sqrt(a^2+b^2)
If you can't program your calculator, you can just square each side, put that into memory or write it down then take the square root of the sum.
Sometimes you have one side and the hypotenuse. You must then square the hypotenuse and subtract the side squared and that equals the other side squared. So once again, you will need to take a square root.

What jobs use the Pythagorean Theorem?
You would use the Pythagorean Theorem when you are trying to determine the length of a side on a right triangle.ORYou might use the Pythagorean Theorem if you are carpenter or builder. A carpenter might use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) or the length of the wall or roof. Use can use this methed or theorem in any building situation.
How do architects use the pythagorean theorem?
Architects use the Pythagorean theorem to check distances, heights, etc...that cant be measured
Can you use pythagorean theorem to find x on a right triangle?
It depends on what x is and what information you have. For example, if no side lengths are known, the Pythagorean theorem is not going to be any use!
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.
When the angle between two displacement vectors is 90 degrees you can use the what theorem?
pythagorean theorem
