Pythagorean Theorem: Find the Hypotenuse

Front

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 formula to calculate the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

c = √(a² + b²) where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are the other two sides.

What is the relationship between the sides of a right triangle according to the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

The sum of the squares of the two shorter sides equals the square of the hypotenuse.
