What impact did the Pythagoras theorem have on society?
It made finding the missing side of a right triangle easier
What is the formula for finding missing lengths on a compound shape?
There is no standard formula. The answer will depend on the compound shape and also on which of the lengths (or angles) are known.
What is missing that solving a problem involves finding?
Missing information must be found.
Why AA and SSA are no valid methods to prove triangles congruent?
Because you need information about all three parts of the triangle, either the side or the angle opposite it, for each of the sides of a triangle. In AA you are missing the third angle, you could have a triangle where both angles were the same but the height could be different giving you a taller or shorter triangle. In SSA, the angle would be the one opposite the first side, so you have no information about the third side
How can you find a missing side or angle of a right triangle?
180 minus two known angle = missing angle. Use Pythagoras' theorem to find its missing side.
How do you find the missing side of a congruent triangle?
Proportions would be the best way; given the sides of the triangle, use ratios to find the corresponding side on the congruent triangle. For example: if three sides are given, 3, 4, and 5, and you had to solve a triangle with lengths 9, 12, and x, this is how you would do it. Given the triangles are congruent, 4/5 = 12/x 4x = 60 x = 15

What is finding all missing side lengths and angle measures of a right triangle?
The study is called trigonometry.
What is the formula of a triangle as an equation?
Depending on what you're solving for in a triangle determines which formula you're going to use. The equations (formulas) are as follows:Finding a missing side of a Right Triangle: a2 + b2 = c2a = leg1 or side1b = leg2 or side2c = HypotenuseInterior Angles of a Triangle: x + y + z = 180ºPerimeter of a Triangle: P = S1 + S2 + S3Area of a Triangle: A = ½bh OR A = (bh)/2When finding the area of something your unit of measurement is always going to be squared. Ex: 5 in2
What is the formula for finding missing lengths on a compound shape?

What is the formula for finding a missing angle in a quadrilateral?
Add all angles together and minus from 360 degrees
What is the formula for finding all of the missing squares in an 88 checkerboard?
(black/red=squares) X 83
What is the formula for finding a missing angle of a triangle when there are no other angles available?
If you have the lengths of all three sides than ÐA = cos-1[(b2 + c2 - a2)/2bc] where a, b and c are the lengths of the sides and A is the angle opposite side a.
How do you found 2 missing angles of a triangle?
I don't think there is a formula if you only know one angle measure. Use a protractor.
How do i find the' missing measurement on a triangle that has a base of 20 and an area of 30ft2?
The depends on what the missing measurement is. From here, I can see at leastthree missing measurements . . . the height of the triangle, and the lengths of theother two sides. The method needed in order to find the 'missing measurement'depends entirely on which one of those you're asked to find.Here's a formula that may come in handy. If not, just put it away for later.Area of a triangle = 1/2 (Base times Height)
Triangle missing square?
No.
What is the name of triangle where people go missing?
The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
