What is the Pythagorean Theorem?

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

What are the three sides of a right triangle?

The three sides are the base, perpendicular, and hypotenuse.

What is the formula of the Pythagorean Theorem?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

If side a of a right triangle is 5 units and side b is 12 units, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

13 units

15 units

What is the Pythagorean Theorem used for?

The Pythagorean Theorem is used to solve for the length of a side in a right triangle if the other two side lengths are known.
