Question

What is Pythagoras Theorem?
Give an example.​

Answer 1

Given the Pythagorean Theorem, a2 + b2 = c2, then: For an acute triangle, c2< a2 + b2, where c is the side opposite the acute angle. For a right triangle, c2= a2 + b2, where c is the side of the 90-degree angle. For an obtuse triangle, c2> a2 + b2, where c is the side opposite the obtuse angle.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem states that “In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides“.

Pythagoras Theorem Formula

Consider the triangle given above:

Where “a” is the perpendicular,

“b” is the base,

“c” is the hypotenuse.

According to the definition, the Pythagoras Theorem formula is given as:

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

c² = a² + b²

for eg - 3,4,5 are Pythagoras triplets

5² = 3² + 4²

25 = 9 + 16

25 = 25
