Step-by-step explanation:
Triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem
- The Pythagorean Theorem, a2+b2=c2, a 2 + b 2 = c 2, can be used to find the length of any side of a right triangle.
- The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse (side c in the figure).
(note: Pythagorean means hypotenuse)
