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."
What shape does the Pythagorean theorem use?
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
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!
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.
