Likewise, how do you solve c2 a2 b2?
The last equation, a2 + b2 = c2,iscalled the Pythagorean Theorem. We say “The sum ofthesquares of the legs of a right triangle equals the square ofitshypotenuse.” Good hint. Note that the hypotenuse sitsbyitself on one side of the equation a2 + b2=c2.
Besides, when can you use a2 b2 c2?
Algebraically, the Converse of the PythagoreanTheoremcan be stated that if a2 + b2 =c2,where a and b are the lengths of the shorter sides of atriangleand c is the length of the longest side of a triangle, thenthetriangle is a right triangle.
In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem,alsoknown as Pythagoras' theorem, is afundamentalrelation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides ofa righttriangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (thesideopposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares oftheother two sides.
