I need help with pythagoras’ theorem

Mathematics
1 answer:
fomenos3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Pythagoras’ theorem  is a way to find a side or hypothesis when you have 2 sides.  

The formula is:  a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a and b are sides

c is the hypothesis

<u>Ex:  A triangle has a leg that is 5 inches and a leg that is 7 inches.  Find the hypothesis using Pythagoras' theorem.  </u>

A leg is another way of saying a side.

5^2 + 7^2 = c^2

25 + 49 = x^2

sqrt(74) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(74) inches = hypothesis

<u>Ex:  A triangle has a leg that is 9 feet and a hypothesis that is 25 feet.  Find the other leg using Pythagoras' theorem. </u>

9^2 + b^2 = 25^2

81 + b^2 - 81 = 625 - 81

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(544)

b = sqrt(554)

Do you understand more?
