Question

use an example to explain the pythagorean theorem

Answer 1

The pythagorean theorem is A^2+B^2=C^2.

Example equation: 3^2+4^2=C^2.

If we simplify this, the equation turns into 9+16=C^2.
If we simplify this even more, you get 25=C^2.

Then you have to figure out what number can stand in as C. In this case, C is 5 because 5^2 is 25. Therefore, 25=25, and C=5.

Not all numbers can be made to follow the pythagorean rule.

Answer 2

Answer: pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2

Step-by-step explanation: lets say that there is a triangle with one side of 3

and one side of 5 first we know that 3 times 3 = 9 and 5 times 5 = 25

25 + 9 = 34 now all we have to do is find the square root of 34

the square root of 34 is 5.83

so the length of side c is 5.83

hope this helps
