What does the pythagorean theorem tell you?
In a right angle triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to height squared plus base squared
How can you use the converse of the pythagorean theorem to tell whether three given lengths can be sides of triangles?
* To find the hypotenuse, take the square root of (a2 + b2). * To find either of the two shorter sides, take the square root of (c2 - b2)
Are there any limitations to pythagorean theorem?
The triangle concerned MUST be a right-angle triangle. If one of the angles is not 90 degrees, you cannot use the Pythagorean theorem! Also, it must be remembered that the theorem only involves the magnitudes (lengths of the sides), you can't use it on i-j-k vectors or the like, only their magnitudes. As a result, it cannot tell us anything about the directions or angles between lines. Other than that, the Pythagorean theorem is incredibly sound!
How do you tell if a group of numbers is a Pythagorean triple?
Square them and compare the largest answer with the sum of the other two.
How can you tell Pythagorean triples?
They are sets of three integers. The squares of two of them add up to the square of the third.
What to right on a pythagorean theorem paper?
First of all, when you talk about making up a paper with a pen or a computer, learn the difference between "right" and "write". It's important, and you can probably get it right without a spell-checker. Now, what to write in the paper: -- Introduction: Say "This paper will tell about the Pythagorean Theorem and how it's used." -- State the Pythagorean Theorem -- Two or three sentences about who Pythagoras was, and why we remember him after so many centuries. (He must have been pretty smart, and discovered stuff that we still use now.) -- Explain what his Theorem means. -- Make up one or two examples. -- It would really be great if you could find an example of where it's used by somebody on their real job, like maybe a surveyor or a carpenter, and give that example too in the paper. Don't forget to write that you went out and found it outside of school. That's extra credit for sure. -- Conclusion: State the Pythagorean Theorem again, and promise that you'll never forget it as long as you live.
What does Greece have to do with math?
Ancient Greece had a lot of fine achitecture. Of course, you have to do that with math. For example, how can u tell is a building is 90 degrees to the ground. You would have to use the pythagorean theorem. IDK if this answers ur question, but o well
Each side of an equilateral triangle is 32 centimeters What is the approximate height h of the triangle?
Well, what does an equilateral triangle tell you? Each of its angles are 60 degrees. If you split an equilateral triangle in half, you will have two right triangles, which you use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve. You know the base (a), 32cm divided by 2 equaling 16cm (because you split the equilateral triangle in half). You know the hypotenuse (c), 32cm. To find the height (b), you will need to use the Pythagorean Theorem: c2 = a2 + b2 for one of the right triangles. Now, fill in the known information.c2 = a2 + b2322 = 162 + b2322 - 162 = b21024 - 256 = b2768 = b2Take the square root (sqrt) of both sides.sqrt 768 = sqrt b216√3 centimeters, or 27.71 cm.
How can you tell if three positive numbers form a Pythagorean triple?
The Pythagorean thereom is a^2+b^2=c^2. So, you can tell if they are a Pythagorean triple by seeing if the two smaller numbers squared equal the largest number squared. Example. Are 3,4, and 5 a Pythagorean triple? 3^2= 9. 4^2= 16. 5^2= 25. 9+16=25, so they are a triple.
Can you tell if a triangle is congruent without using the hypotenuse theorem?
no not really
What is the relationship between area and square units?
It is that area is measured in square units.
How can you tell if a shape has square corners?
I think you can tell if a shape has a square corner by seeing if the corner has a 90 degree angle. If it is 90 degress than it is a square corner.
