Pythagorean Theorem Triangle

Why do we use the Pythagorean Theorem?

• To find the missing side of a right triangle

• To find the area of a triangle

• To find the volume of a cone

• To find the circumference of a circle

What is the formula used for the Pythagorean Theorem?

• a + b = c

• a² + b² = c²

• a₂ + b₂ = c₂

• a x b = c

What is the hypotenuse (c)?

• the two sides that make up the right angle

• the longest side, across from the right angle

• the shortest side

• the straight side of the triangle
