Pythagoras Theorem

Question 1

Remember what are the numbers on a triangle always?

Answer 1

Squared
For e.g a triangle has two short sides 8cm + 4cm you must find the hypotenuse
Do 8squared + 4squared
Simplify
64 + 16
=80 now this is the hypotenuse squared we want just the hypotenuse 
So square root it
[80 = 8.9 boom there’s ur answer

Question 2

What is the equation for the hypotenuse aka long side?

Answer 2

a squared + b squared = c squared

Short side) (short side) (long side

Question 3

What is the equation for the shorter sides? (a and b)

Answer 3

a or b squared = c squared (hypotenuse) - a or b squared
Shorter side. Longer side. Other shorter side
Or in other words
Short side = long side - short side

Question 4

Always remember to?

Answer 4

Check if it’s pythagoras and identify the side your working on

Question 5

Where is the hypotenuse (longer side) located?

Answer 5

At the opposite of the right angle
