2. What Is Pythagorean Theorem ? Pythagoras' theorem states that in any right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. What Do the Variables stand for ? What type of triangle do we use the theorem for? The variables in the algebraic statement of the Theorem stand for the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. The right angled triangle has a right angle of 90° as one of its interior angles. In the image here the right angle is marked with the white square.
3. My Right Triangle a2 + b2 = c2 2+ 2 = 2 + = = = 12 9 x 81 144 225 x 150 120 X 90
4. What is the distance formula The Formula a2+ b2= C2 d= square root of ((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2 1.Get the line that you are going to measure.A Find the coordinates of the line's endpoints. 3 Take the x-coordinates of both points and subtract them. 4 Square that amount. 5 Get the y-coordinates of both points and subtract them. 6 Square that amount. 7 Add both of the squares. 8 Find the square root of the final sum. 9 You have found the length of line, in units.
