Question

Solve for a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 1

In this equation, there is nothing to solve for.  However, the expression $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ is the Pythagorean theorem.  If there is a right triangle, then when the lengths of two shorter legs (a and b) are added together, and then square rooted, you get c, which is the hypotenuse.

Hope this helps!
