Right-Angle triangles


What kind of triangles can you use with the Pythagorean Theorem?

Right triangles - those with a 90-degree angle.


What kind of triangles does the Pythagorean theorem work for?

All right-angles triangles. That is triangles that contain one angle at 90 degrees.


What kind of triangle it used to describe for pythagorean inequality theorem?

Obtuse


Did anyone oppose to the pythgreom theorm?

Although the Pythagorean theorem (sums of square of a right angled triangle) is called a theorem it has many mathematical proofs (including the recent proof of Fermats last theorem which tangentially also prooves Pythagorean theorem). In fact Pythagorean theorem is an 'axiom', a kind of 'super law'. It doesn't matter if anyone does oppose it, it is one of the few fundamental truths of the universe.


What is the pythagorean theorem of 45 and 28?

Well, that's kind of an awkward way to say it, but if the 45 and the 28 are thelengths of the legs of a right triangle, then the Pythagorean Theorem tells us thatthe length of the hypotenuse is 53.


Why does Pythagoreans theorem work for right triangles?

Its a special relationship that was observed by Pythogorous. It just kind of works


Why was Pythagorean Theorem become necessary to incorporate in the number system?

Your question is so confusing that I almost trashed it and am not sure yet what you want to know but I have a possible idea : consider a right triangle each of whose legs have length 1. By the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse has length equal to the square root of 2. The square root of 2 is irrational- one can prove it is not equal to any fraction of integers, yet it is obviously is a number of some kind. Thus the number system had to be extended to include numbers of this kind.

How does the Pythagorean Theorem work?

The Pythagorean Theorem explains (or permits calculation of) the length of one side of a right triangle if the lengths of the other two sides are known. A right triangle is a triangle in which one of the three angles is a right angle (i.e. it has 90 degrees) For that kind of triangle, if A = the length of one of the sides making the right angle, B = the length of the other side making the right triangle, and C = the length of the side opposite to the right angle (also called the hypotenuse, then C2 = A2 + B2
