Question

Could someone breakdown the Pythagorean theorem for me please?

Answer 1

Pythagorean theorem applies to special right triangles such that The angle in relatino to the sides creates what is known as SOHCAHTOA
\[SOH = \sin(\theta) = \frac{opp}{hyp}\]\[CAH = \cos(\theta) = \frac{adj}{hyp}\]\[TOA = \tan(\theta) = \frac{opp}{adj}\]

Answer 2

the square of the each leg of a right triangle added together is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side)
\(
a^2+b^2=c^2\)

Answer 3

The pythagorean theorem is the idea that a^2 + b^2 = c^2



c is the longest side, ie the hypotenuse

Answer 4

in geometric terms, if we add the area of square A to the area of square B, we get the area of square C
