When do I need to usethe Pythagorean Theorem ? When I know: length of 2 sides And Need to know: length of 3rd side
The hypotenuse is ALWAYS across the right angle. a & b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse c a b
Using a2 + b2 = c2 x 5 7
Using a2 + b2 = c2 x 15 20
Using a2 + b2 = c2 x 6 12
Using a2 + b2 = c2 10 6 x
Using a2 + b2 = c2 5 x 3
Using a2 + b2 = c2 20 4 x
