Answer:
The sum of the squares of the two sides equals the square of the hypotenuse (a² + b² = c²).
Let's say you have a triangle with a 90º angle (also known as a right angle). The two equal legs are a and b while the hypotenuse is the longer side. Hypotenuse is and always will be c.
Here's a problem:
c ⊿ a (12)
b (6)
C is missing, we have to find C, so here's what we do:
Step 1: You square all the numbers in the equation
12² + 6² = c²
↓
144 + 36 = c
Step 2: You add 144 + 36 and you get 180
Step 3: Then you find the square root >> and you get ≈13.4
Now sometimes, the a or b would be missing, for example:
c (13)⊿ a
b (5)
A is missing (when a or b is missing, use the following formula, do not use the same formula when c is missing)
Step 1: You square all the numbers in the equation
a² + 5² = 13²
a + 25 = 169
For this next part, you must subtract a or b (in this case, b) on both sides, for example:
25 – 25 = 169 - 25
25 – 25 cancels itself out so now we subtract 169 by 25 and we get 144.
Then we find the square root of 144 and we get 12
I hope this helps :)
