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 developed the theory a plus b equals c?
A Mathematician named Pythagorean. That is why it is called Pythagorean's theorem. For every right triangle, this theorem will be true.
What if the pythagorean theorem gives you a triangle that is not right?
The pythagorean theorem is only used for a right triangle. Formula: a^2+b^2=c^2 the "a" and "b" represent the legs of the triangle and the "c" represents the hypotenuse.
Is the pythagorean theorem true for an acute triangle?
No, the Pythagorean Theorem only works on right triangles. You could use the law of cosines, though: c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab*cos(C) Where C is the measure of the angle between sides a and b.
What is the Pythagorean Theorem and who theorized it?
For any right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths a and b of the legs equals the square of the length c of the hypotenuse: a2 + b2 = c2. Pythagoras developed the theorem.
