Can someone help me with pythagreon therom?
\[a ^{2}+b ^{2}=c ^{2}\]
ok thanx @volleygirl97
can yall help me with a question
hyp^2 = per^2 + base^2
Pythagorean Theorem: the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle that is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides
It is a fairly simple concept. It applies to ALL triangles which have a 'right angle' It means that if you know the length of 2 sides you can calculate the 3rd side. The three sides are labelled a,b and c The longest side is opposite to the right angle, and is called the hypotenuse. for all right angled triangles a^2 + b^2 = c^2
no problem
look at the link nd can u tell me the answeer or help me
can't follow the link
link is not opening... log in error...
ok
well its a triangle and A=10, B=24 C=?
answer choices A-21.8 B-26 C-28 D-34
which side is A and B...? @Phebe
the base is b C is hypotneuse the other is A
ok, use phytagoras theorem... hyp^2 = per^2 + base^2 hyp^2 = (10)^2 + ( 24)^2..... can you solve now... @Phebe
yes but can u tell me the answer
its 676
but nun of my answer choiceds say 676
hyp^2 = 100+576 hyp^2 = 676.... now take the root and that is the answer...
wats the root
@paki
what is the root of 676...?
@Phebe
got it now... @Phebe
yes
hmm ok :-)
@paki Giving the answer has NOT got the OP any closer to understanding this . It is a key concept which really needs to be understood 26, or 'b' is of no use for the NEXT question....
@MrNood i am not getting your point...? what you want to say...? Please elaborate...
My point is - you are NOT supposed to give the direct answer here The OP will be faced with similar questions in the study - so IF you help with the concept she may be able to work out other questions, If you give the answer straight like above then she will know NO more than she did before
ahh nice reply... ok :-)
