Question

What does the Pythagorean Theorem state about the sides of a right triangle if the legs of triangle have the measurement of a and b and the hypotenuse of the triangle measures c?Select one of the options below as your answer: A. a2 − b2 = c2 B. a + b + c C. a2 + b2 = c2 D. a3 + b3 = c3

Answer 1

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of any right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of it's sides. In other words, a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c:
\[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]
