Best Answer

Consider an isosceles right-angled triangle.

The hypotenuse is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of two equal sides, so h2 = a2 + b2 but a and b are equal so you have a triple of h, a and a...

This in its simplest form equates to h = 1 and a & b each = half of root 2.

Why cant there be negative numbers in Pythagorean theorem?

Because when you are looking for the hypothenuse, it will be bigger than both the numbers so it length will be in positives, and when you are looking for side a or b, it won't work with a negative because a negative and a positive will cause the number to be smaller.

Right triangles cannot have all thee sides equal (Pythagorean theorem). All sides equal would be an equilateral triangle with all angles 60 degreesA
