Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem works for right triangles a²+b² = c²
The Pythagorean theorem might be easier to understand written like this ......
(side 1)² + (side 2)² = (hypotenuse)² hypotenuse is c in this diagram
it can also be written like this just flipping both sides (they are still equal)
(hypotenuse)² = (side 1)² + (side 2)²
using algebra to solve for the hypotenuse
hypotenuse = √[ (side 1)² + (side 2)²] remeber hypotenuse = c
c = √[ (side 1)² + (side 2)²] rewritten with c instead of hypotenuse
= √[ 4² + 3² ]
= √( 16 + 9 ]
= √(25)
What number is the square root of 25?
Or what number times itself equals 25?
Your chooses were ...... A B C or D
A 5x5 = ?
B 7x7 = ?
C 16x16 = ?
D 15x15 = ?
