What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle?

In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Can the Pythagorean Theorem be used for obtuse triangles?

No, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles.

What is the value of c if a = 6 and b = 8?

Using the Pythagorean Theorem: $$6^2 + 8^2 = c^2$$ , so $$c = \text{sqrt}(36 + 64) = \text{sqrt}(100) = 10$$ .

If the lengths of the legs of a right triangle are 5 and 12, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Using the Pythagorean Theorem: $$5^2 + 12^2 = c^2$$ , so $$c = \text{sqrt}(25 + 144) = \text{sqrt}(169) = 13$$ .

What is the Pythagorean triple?

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ . An example is (3, 4, 5).

What is the significance of the right angle in the Pythagorean Theorem?

The right angle is crucial because the Pythagorean Theorem only holds true in right triangles.

If the hypotenuse is 13 and one leg is 5, what is the other leg?

Using the Pythagorean Theorem: $$5^2 + b^2 = 13^2$$ , so $$b = \text{sqrt}(169 - 25) = \text{sqrt}(144) = 12$$ .

What is the formula to find the area of a right triangle?

The area of a right triangle is given by the formula: $$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$$ .
