Question

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It can be written as: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Answer 3

The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right-angled triangle (a triangle with one angle of 90 degrees), the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. This can be written as a mathematical equation: a² + b² = c², where a and b are the lengths of the two shorter sides, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
