Do you know whats the Pythagorean Theorem

anonymous · Answer

Yes. The sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle are equal to the square of the hypotenuse.|dw:1321752759202:dw|
So here, 
$$z^{2} + y ^{2} = x ^{2}$$

anonymous · Answer

Do you know how to answer it Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance to the nearest tenth, between F(9, 5) and G(-2, 2). (Hint: Place F and G on the coordinate plane. Then sketch a triangle with FG as the hypotenuse.)
