Where do you find the Hypotnuse?
The hypotenuse is the side opposite the two sides that form a right angle.
Where is Pythagoras therom used?
this therom is used when u need to find a measurement of a side of a triangle. A, B, or C A= base B=base C= Hypotnuse HOPE I HELPED
Explain in the pythagorean theorem must be a right triangle?
yes it only apllies to the right triangle and "c" is the hypotnuse of the triangles
Can you find both sides of a triangle if only the hypotenuse is given?
No. The hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle that is not adjacent to the right angle. The Pythagorean theorem says that a2+b2=h2 where h is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the other sides. Let's say the hypotnuse is 3, then a2+b2=9 a and b could be the 1 and the square root of 8 or the square root of 2 and the square root of 7 or the square root of 3 and the square root of 6. In fact, there are an infinite number of combinations of lengths that a and b could be.
A square table has a diagonal of 8 feet What is the lenght of each side?
Once you split a square down the diagonal you now have 2 right triangles. Use Pythagorean's theorem to figure the side length.a² + b² = c²Since this is a square, a = b, so you can subtitute x for both sides2x² = 8² (remember c is the hypotnuse, or the longest leg of a right triangle)2x² = 64x² = 32x = √32x ≈ 5.657 feet or 4√2 leaving your answer as a radical
