Pythagorean Theorem

Front

What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

The longest side in a right triangle, opposite the right angle.

Front

What does the Pythagorean Theorem state?

Back

a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse.

Front

If one side of a right triangle is 15 and the other is 20, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

25 (using the Pythagorean Theorem: 15² + 20² = c²).

Front

Which equation can be used to find the length of a missing side in a right triangle?

Back

c² = a² + b².

Front

What letter is commonly used to represent the hypotenuse in the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

c.

Front

If a = 9 and b = 12, what is the length of c?

Back

15 (9² + 12² = c²).

Front

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

Back

Area = 1/2 * base * height.

Front

In a right triangle, if one angle is 90 degrees, what are the other two angles?

Back

They must add up to 90 degrees.

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a 3-4-5 triangle?

Back

It is a special right triangle where 3² + 4² = 5².

Front

How do you determine if a triangle is a right triangle using side lengths?

Back

Check if a² + b² = c² holds true.
