Question

WILL MARK BRAINLEIST please give me a good summary of the Pythagorean Theorem

Answer 1

Answer:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a statement about triangles containing a right angle. The Pythagorean Theorem states that: "The area of the square built upon the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares upon the remaining sides."

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Pythagorean Theorem = a^2 + b^2 = c^2

This is used to solve the hypotenuse of the triangle (the unmarked horizontal side). It takes the sides, which are a and b, and puts them to the power of 2. After that, you take the number, for example lets say 16. You'd find the square root, and that'd be your anwser, (for this example the anwser would be 6).

another example:

side one of triangle (A) (length) = 6

side two of triangle (B) (width) = 8

hypotenuse (C) = ?

(6)^2 + (8)^2 = 36 + 64 = 100. The square root of 100 is 10. C is 10.
