How do you work out exterior angle for a triangle?
It is: 180-interior angle = exterior angle
Why does pythagorean theorem only work for right triangles?
The Pythagorean theorem applies specifically to right triangles because it defines a relationship between the lengths of the sides in a triangle where one angle is exactly 90 degrees. In this configuration, the lengths of the two legs (the sides forming the right angle) can be squared and summed to equal the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle). For triangles without a right angle, this relationship does not hold, as the properties of triangle geometry change, and the sum of the squares of the sides does not equal the square of the longest side. Thus, the theorem is uniquely suited to right triangles.
Will the pythagorean theorem work with the measure of the sides of any triangle?
The Pythagorean theorem only applies to right triangles, where one angle measures 90 degrees. It states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. For triangles that are not right triangles, different formulas, such as the Law of Cosines, must be used to relate the sides and angles.
How do you work out the number of sides in a regular polygon that has an exterior angle?
With a regular polygon: 360/exterior angle = number of sides
How do you work out the exterior angle?
Measure it. There is no formula for an exterior angle unless you have a regular (or equiangular) polygon. And there is no evidence to suggest that that is the case.
What kind of triangles does the Pythagorean theorem work for?
All right-angles triangles. That is triangles that contain one angle at 90 degrees.
Does Pythagorean Theorem work for triangles that don't have a 90 degree angle?
It does not; if there is no 90 degree angle there is no hypotenuse.
Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on all triangles with side length of 1?
It doesn't matter on the side length, but it MUST have a right angle.
Does the Pythagorean Theorem work on all triangles?
No, the pythagorean theorem only works on right triangles, but it will work on any right triangle. This is because the Pythagorean Theorem states that length of Leg A squared plus the length of Leg B Squared equals the length of the hypotenuse squared. A hypotenuse is always found opposite a right angle. Only right triangles have right angles; therefore, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles. :D
Does pythagoras' theorem work for all triangles?
no only right triangles
Does the Pythagoream Theorem Work on all triangles?
No, only right triangles
How do you work out exterior angle for a triangle?

How do you work out exterior angle of an decagon?
You cannot. An exterior angle of a decagon can have any value.
Who used the Pythagoras theorem?
anyone doing work with right angled triangles
What is the donkey theorem?
When trying to prove two triangles congruent, you can use SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL, and HA patterns. However, the pattern A S S doesn't work. Instead of spelling or saying this word in class, you can refer to it as "the donkey theorem". You can look at the pattern in the two triangles and say "these two triangles are not congruent because of the donkey theorem." You CANNOT prove triangles incongruent with 'the donkey theorem', nor can you prove them congruent. It's mostly sort of a joke, you could say, but it's never useful. The reason is that if the two triangles ARE congruent, then of course there will be an unincluded congruent angle as well as two congruent sides. The theorem doesn't do anything left, right, forward or backward. It's not even really a theorem. :P
