The Pythagorean Theorem states that for any right triangle with legs of length a and b and hypotenuse of length c, the sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse. It is represented by the equation .

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

so u r being asked to prove the pythagorean theorem or just give an example? sorry im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain I guess

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

The Pythagorean theorem states that In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

|dw:1434834318251:dw| the formula for Pythagorean theorem is \[a^2+b^2= c^2\]

i think they are asking you to prove it there are many many proofs google and you will get lots pick one you understand (maybe one with an easy picture) and use that one

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

the \(C\) represents the hypotenuse \(A\) and \(B\) represent the legs p.s It doesn't matter if u mix up a and b

OpenStudy (godlovesme):

@LesTwins satellite might be right it they're asking u to prove it then i suggest u to google :)
