What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

Back

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

How do you find the height of a ladder leaning against a wall?

Back

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: if the ladder is the hypotenuse and the distance from the wall is one leg, solve for the height (h) using h² + distance² = ladder length².

What is the relationship between sine, cosine, and tangent?

Back

Tangent can be expressed as the ratio of sine to cosine: tan(θ) = sin(θ) / cos(θ).
