Question

How do you do the pythagorean therom @jgirl128

Answer 1

the pythagoras theorem can be written as the equation:

a² + b² = c²

when you're looking at a problem, 'c' will always be the longest side of the triangle and 'a' and 'b' will be the other two sides.

the longest side of the triangle is called a ' hypotenuse'
