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?
3/4 + 1 = 1.75 which is equivalent to 7/4
1- 3/4 = 0.25 which is equivalent to 1/4
the problem now looks like 7/4 / 1/4
you cancel out both 4
this problem simplified looks like 7/1
which is equivalent to 7 if you divide
