What Pythagorean theorem problem that the answer is 1?

*SHRUGS*


How do you get the answer to a Pythagorean theorem problem?

You take the information you're given, make sure you understand the question, write down the Pythagorean Theorem, then look at it to discover how it connects the information you have to the information you need to find.


A stair stringer is 8 feet high and extends 10 feet from the wall how long is the stair stringer?

Well this is a very simple problem if you read it correctly. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can solve it very quickly. The problem creates a triangle. The 8 feet forms the smallest leg, the 10 feet forms the larger leg, and the length of the stair stringer forms the hypotenuse, or in this case x. (When I first read the problem, I made the mistake of thinking of it as a Pythagorean Triple, and 6 feet quickly popped into my head from a 3,4,5 triangle. But the problem, if not read carefully can throw you off as to which numbers go to which sides.) Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you conclude to... 82 + 102 = x2 64 + 100 = x2 164 = x2 2 square roots of 41 = x, or approximately 12.81 feet.


The legs of a right triangle are 8 and 9 feet long respectively What is the length of the hypotenuse?

The hypotenuse is about 12.04 units.To solve this problem, the Pythagorean Theorem will come into play.The basis of the Pythagorean Theorem isa2 + b2 = c2Where a and b are the legs of a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.So in this case, we would use 8 and 9 in place of a and b, respectively, resulting in82 + 92 = c2which converts into64 + 81 = c2which further converts to145 = c2√145 =12.04

How do you calculate the distance between two corners of a square?

Measure it with a ruler or a compass. Also, if this is a purely theoretical problem and you have no actual square to measure, remember that the diagonal line cuts the square into two right triangles, which therefore can be analysed by the use of the famous Pythagorean Theorem.


Is cos function and pythagorean theroem used to calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector?

Yes, the cosine function and Pythagorean theorem are often used to calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector in a two-dimensional vector addition problem. The cosine function is used to determine the direction of the resultant vector, while the Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate its magnitude.
