Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagoras' Theorem

It is a relation in Euclidean geometry among

the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the

square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the

squares of the other two sides.

Calculate the Hypotenuse

a = 3

b = 4c = ?

𝑐 = 𝑎2 + 𝑏2

𝑐 = 32 + 42 = 25

𝑐 = 5

Calculate any of the Legs of the

Right Triangle

a = ?

b = 10

c = 14

𝑎 = 𝑐2 − 𝑏2

𝑎 = 142 − 102 = 96

𝑎 ≅ 9.8
