Can the pythagorean theorem can be used for any type of triangle?
No. The Pythagorean theorem applies only to right triangles...those containing a right angle (90 degrees).
Whats the theorem used for right triangles?
The Pythagorean Theorem is a statement about triangles containing a right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem states that:"The area of the square built upon the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares upon the remaining sides."
Why is the Pythagorean theorem incorrect?
With A=5 B=2 C=7, you don't have a right-angled triangle (90° angle), that's why you get a wrong answer. The Pythagorean theorem isn't wrong, YOU are wrong!
What shape does the Pythagorean theorem use?
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
Applications of the Pythagorean theorem?
Pythagoras' theorem is applicable to any right angle triangle and states that when its hypotenuse is squared it is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
How does the pythagorean theorem benifet mankind?
it showed us how to determine the hypotenuse of right angle triangles
Why can't the Pythagorean theorem be used without a right angle?
The Pythagorean theorem is actually the law of cos, where the angle is 90.
When does the Pythagorean theorem apply?
With right angle triangles
Converse of Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
When can the pythagorean theorem be used?
With any right angle triangle
What shape does the pythagorean theorem apply to?
A right angle triangle.
What is the difference between the pythagorean theorem and the converse of the pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, a2 + b2 = c2. The converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that, if in a triangle with sides a, b, c, a2 + b2 = c2 then the triangle is right and the angle opposite side c is a right angle.
Can the pythagorean theorem can be used for any type of triangle?
No. The Pythagorean theorem applies only to right triangles...those containing a right angle (90 degrees).
What kind of triangles relate to Pythagorean theorem?
Right-Angle triangles
What are the types of triangles that can use the Pythagorean theorem?
Right angle triangles
When can you use pythagorean theorem?
When working out the sides of a right angle triangle.
What is the only type of triangle the Pythagorean Theorem can be used on without being given any other measurements besides the sides?
Simply because the Pythagorean Theorem is not true for any triangle that doesn't have a right angle in it. If a triangle has a right angle in it, then it satisfies the Theorem. If it hasn't, then it doesn't. And if it satisfies the Theorem, then it has a right angle in it, and if it doesn't, then it hasn't.
