Answer 13

Idk how 2 use less!

Answer 14

ok add this, if ABC is a right angle triangle in , then

ex: AC^2=AB^2+BC^2

Answer 23

Pythagoras therom is used to find any unknown side of a Right Angle Triangle.
A right angle triangle is one which consists of one-90* angle among 3.
The opposite side to it is known as Hypotenuse.

The formula for solving it is:

Base^2 + Perpendicular^2 = Hypotenuse^2

We insert the values and get the respected value from it.
