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 can be expressed as: c² = a² + b².

What is the hypotenuse in a right triangle?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the length of the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

To find the length of the hypotenuse (c), use the formula: c = √(a² + b²), where a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.
