@huskynation here

@HuskyNation

SHIKIDK:

whats going on here

SourMunchkin7806:

\[2^{2}+4^{2}=c^{2} \] So lets re write to what we get. \[2+16=c\] 2 being the product of 2^2 and 16 being the produce of 4^2.

HuskyNation:

It is for me give me a sec i need to spand up for hispanic i chat

SourMunchkin7806:

Do you follow?

OregonDuck:

sorry i got suspended

HuskyNation:

back

HuskyNation:

ok if the formula is c^2 then why don't we do 18 times 18? or 18^2?!?

SourMunchkin7806:

because 18 is the squared form of c. 2, 16, and 18 are the squared forms of a, b, and c

HuskyNation:

oh so 18 is already square, does anywhere in the formula have somewhere saying to take the square root of c and that is the missing length?

SourMunchkin7806:

YES perfect. So 18 is the squared form of the length of the hypotenuse. So by finding the square root of c what do we get?

HuskyNation:

4.24?

HuskyNation:

rounded

SourMunchkin7806:

Great. So our hypotenuse of this triangle is?

HuskyNation:

4.24

SourMunchkin7806:

AWESOME!

SourMunchkin7806:

So using this try to find the hypotenuse of the triangle with the length of side a=10 and side b=15.

HuskyNation:

won't the formula be a^2+b^2=c then?

HuskyNation:

@SourMunchkin7806

HuskyNation:

is there a way you can prove that the hypotenuse length again?

SourMunchkin7806:

No because its equal to c^2. When we do A^2 plus B^2 we get C^2 its just we have to find the square root of that to get the length of the hypotenuses

HuskyNation:

ok

HuskyNation:

so 10 times 10 = 100 15 times 15 = 225 square root os 325 18.03 rounded

SourMunchkin7806:

YES there you go you now know the theorem
