The Pythagorean Theorem is a theorem that calculates the hypotenuse of a triangle; the formula being a^2+b^2=c^2, c being the hypotenuse and a & b being the legs of the triangle.
This theorem contains exponential expression & square roots. An example or this theorem is 9^2+12^2=c^2. First we need to calculate 9^2 and 12^2, which is 81 and 144. Next, we add them, you should get 225. Lastly, √225=15, so c=15.

Person 1: 6^2+8^2=14^2
Person 2: Wrong, 6^2 and 8^2 is 36 and 64, 36+64=100, √100=10
Person 1: Now that makes sense! How'd you get that

Pythagors' theorum allows one to calculate the lenght of the "opposite" side (That is, opposite to the right angle) in a right-angled triangle By knowing only the lengths of the other two sides. It can also be mixed with the sine and cosine rules, trigonometry and such to calculate every angle and side length in pretty much any structure. Practical uses involve the measurement of buildings and such.
The method:
•Use the same unit of measurement for all sides.
•Sqaure the lengths of the two shorter sides
•Add the sqaures of the numbers toghether
•Find the sqaure root of that number
•Your answer is the length of the longest side.

. B
Side A is 5cm, side B is 4cm and side C is unknown.
A- 5x5= 25 square cm
B- 4x4= 16 square cm
25+16= 36
Square root of 36= 6.
Side C is 6cm.
Of course, this can also be worked backwards to find the length of the smaller sides, provided there are at least two sides given.
If you try to practically apply this with any lengths other than those given, you will end up with decimals. The above example is the only one that does not end in decimal places.

Get the Pythagorean Theorem mug.A little juicy formula that exposes the covert relationship between the sides in a right triangle—no other elementary mathematical result has excited so many people from all walks of life to try proving it from different angles.
Just as without Christ, there’s no Christianity, without the Pythagorean theorem, there’s no Trigonometry.

Get the Pythagorean Theorem mug.States that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. While this is useful in math class, you won't be using it when you are bagging groceries or working retail or selling Nerf Guns.
