Pythagorean Theorem

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b). It is expressed as: a² + b² = c².

In a right triangle, which side is the hypotenuse?

Back

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle, opposite the right angle.

Front

If a triangle has sides of lengths 6, 6.7, and 3, which side is the hypotenuse?

Back

The hypotenuse is 6.7.

Front

True or False: Side c on a right triangle is ALWAYS the longest.

Back

True.

Front

What is the formula to find the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

The formula is c = √(a² + b²).

If a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 10 and one leg of 6, what is the length of the other leg?

Back

The other leg is 8 (10² - 6² = 8²).
