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 is the hypotenuse angle theorem?
The hypotenuse angle theorem, also known as the HA theorem, states that 'if the hypotenuse and an acute angle of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and an acute angle of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.'
What is the formula of Pythagorean Theorem?
c2 = a2 + b2 Where "a" and "b" are the lengths of the sides of a triangle that meet to form a right angle (90 degree angle) and "c" is the third side, the hypotenuse
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!
