Terence's Pythagoras Scribe Edit

1. Answer a short paragraph with diagrams.

Explain the Pythagorean Relationship.

The two legs which are A and B equal the hypotenuse which is C. The C may also equal A or B if you subtract. If you subtract C with A it may equal the B and

the same thing goes for C-B. If you do A+B=C, B=A-C, and A=B-C it will show if you have a right triangle and those are the formulas.

2. Solve the missing side length

A=12 cm

B=5 cm

A+B=C

(12x12)+(5x5)=

144+25=169

C=169cm2

C=13

3. Is this a right triangle? Prove it!!!

A=8 cm

B=6 cm

C=11 cm

A+B=C

(8x8)+(6x6)=(11x11)

64+36=(100) 121

It is not a right triangle because 64+36=100 not 121.
