Back

5,12,13

Front

Find the missing side if one leg is 6 and the other leg is 8.

Back

10 (using Pythagorean theorem: 6² + 8² = c²)

Front

What is the Pythagorean theorem formula?

Back

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

Front

If one leg of a right triangle is 9 and the hypotenuse is 15, find the other leg.

Back

Front

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

Back

13 (using Pythagorean theorem: 5² + 12² = 13²)

Front

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

Back

The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
