Question

What is the Pythagorean Theorem used for right triangles

Answer 1

Answer:

The Pythagorean theorem consists of a formula a^2+b^2=c^2 which is used to figure out the value of (mostly) the hypotenuse in a right triangle. The a and b are the 2 "non-hypotenuse" sides of the triangle (Opposite and Adjacent).

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Used t find missing side angles when two sides are present. For example, if you have a short leg and a long leg, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotaneus and vse versa, using it to find the short or long leg if the other two are given.
