a²+b²=c²
OpenStudy (cody88):
wat yu mean by that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that's the pathogrean theorem
so...
64+36=100
which means that is a right triangle
OpenStudy (cody88):
thx how yu get those numbers tho
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So if you take the two smallest side and multiply them by themselves and then add them together
Then multiply the largest number by itself. If they make a true statement than the triangle is a right triangle...Understand?
