How do I do the Pythagoras Theorem?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

simple answer? you sum the square of the legs and that should be equal to the square of the hypotenuse

The theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths of the sides a, b and c, often called the Pythagorean equation:[1]

what exactly do u need??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pythagorean Theorem? It is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The square of the hypotenuse of a triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides. Therefore, the hypotenuse is equal to the square root of the sum of the square of the other two sides. It's often used in geometry in determining measurements and angles of a triangle.

Thansk my teacher taught it to us but she goes really fast on her lessons which is probably half the reasons people fail in her class but watever i just never really got it.

take the to shorter sides of the right traingle and square them both, then add them togther. then take the longest side (hypotnuse) and square that. use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2 have a and b be the 2 shortest legs and c be the hyppotnuse. then just substitute the numbers in and solve
