It is the Pythagorean Theorem, named after the creator Pythagoras. a & b are lengths of legs of a right triangle (legs are the sides adjacent the right angle. c is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

I've heard that the ancient Egyptians knew about the 3-4-5 right triangle and used that knowledge to make sure the pyramids had right angles, but I cannot find that information right now. I think I saw it on the Discovery Channel, or TLC.

What is the reciprocal of a plus bi if a2 plus b2 equals 1?

The reciprocal of a + bi is a - bi:1/(a + bi) since the conjugate is a - bi:= 1(a - bi)/[(a + bi)(a - bi)]= (a - bi)/[a2 - (b2)(i2)] since i2 equals to -1:= (a - bi)/(a2 + b2) since a2 + b2 = 1:= a - bi/1= a - bi

How do you solve a2 plus c2 equals b2 and a equals 10 and your c is 30?

All you need to do is substitute the given values of a and c into the equation, then solve for c: a2 + c2 = b2 102 + 302 = b2 100 + 900 = b2 b2 = 1000 b = √1000 b = 10√10


If a2 plus b2 plus c2 - ab - bc - ca equals 0 then prove a equals b equals c?

a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca = 0 => 2a2 + 2b2 + 2c2 - 2ab - 2bc - 2ca = 0 Rearranging, a2 - 2ab + b2 + b2 - 2bc + c2 + c2 - 2ca + a2 = 0 => (a2 - 2ab + b2) + (b2 - 2bc + c2) + (c2 - 2ca + a2) = 0 or (a - b)2 + (b - c)2 + (c - a)2 = 0 so a - b = 0, b - c = 0 and c - a = 0 (since each square is >=0) that is, a = b = c
