a²+b²=c² The letters a and b represent the two legs of a right triangle and the letter c represents the hypotenuse (longest side, adjacent to right angle). This being said, the two legs squared equal the hypotenuse squared. Finding the square root will give you the hypotenuse length.

Who invented the pythegorean theorem?

Actually, the theorem has been used long ago before mathematician called Pythagoras came along. It was previously already applied in Indian society. The theorem only came to be known as "Pythagoras Theorem" because he (or his students) were the first ones to construct a proof for the theorem.


Is the pythagorean theorem is an iportant math concept?

yes the pythegorean theorem (a2x b2=c2) is used for right triangles a and b are the legs (the sides that make up the right triangle) and c is the hypothenus(the longest side)

How do you find the distance on a pythegorean theorem?

To find the distance using the Pythagorean theorem, you need to identify a right triangle where the legs represent the two sides of the triangle, and the hypotenuse represents the distance you're trying to calculate. The theorem states that (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), where (c) is the length of the hypotenuse, and (a) and (b) are the lengths of the other two sides. To find the distance, simply square the lengths of both legs, add those squares together, and then take the square root of the result, giving you (c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}).

Can a theorem be proven using a corollary?

No, a corollary follows from a theorem that has been proven. Of course, a theorem can be proven using a corollary to a previous theorem.
