On a right triangle, there are two perpendicular legs and the hypotenuse, which is the diagonal line connecting the ends of the two lines. Let a equal the length of a leg and b equal the length of the other leg. Let c equal the length of the hypotenuse. The formula is a2 + b2 = c2. In the case that you are solving for c (the length of the hypotenuse) plug in the values of a and b, then solve until you get what c equals. If you are solving for leg a, plug in values for b and c and solve it.

What is the Pythagorean therom?
a2+b2=c2
How do you solve the pythagorean therom that invovles two variables?
Not sure how to put it. The Pythagorean therom states that a squared plus b squared equals c squared. Aren't a, b and c all variables?
How do you prove the pythagorean therom?
well it is quit easy...NOT it is one of the hardest parts in geomatry wat u do is bla bla bla any way ill give u an easier way go on to www.mathsonline.com and make your on account and basicly just do it.... JUST DO IT
How do builders use algebra?
Builders use algebra when they need to calculate certain heights. As a builder, you cannot always physically measure all the lengths, but you can take what you have and derive information from that. For example, the pythagorean therom. (Combo of algebra and geometry.)
Why do children have difficulties with reflective symmetry?
I am a kid and have no problems with reflective symmetry but some kids might It could be that some just don't understand it just like You cant teach a 2 year old the Pythagorean therom and have them now what it means
