It is used to measure the area of c2 which will be the diagonal slope for ANY triangle. The equation will always be a2 + b2 = c2

(2)= squared

a(2) and b(2) will be either side of a right angle of a triangle. C(2) is the long diagonal slope that joins the end of a(2) and c(2) to make a triangle.

for example:

If a(2) is 4cm long and b(2) is 5cm long this will be the equation to solve the area of c(2)

a(2) + b(2) = c(2)

4(2) + 5(2) = c(2)

16 + 25 = c(2)

41 = c(2) You get 41 by adding 16 & 25 and then you find the square root of 41

6.40312 = C√

So the area of c(2) is 6.40312cm

Hope this helps :)

Why do you need the Pythagorean theorem?

The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle (the side opposite the right angle) when you are given the two legs of the triangle (the other two sides). It becomes very important and crucial to math in trigonometry and later levels of math.
