Are You A Right Triangle? or : Pythagorean Theorem

This document provides examples of solving for unknown sides of right triangles using the Pythagorean theorem (A2 + B2 = C2). It begins with four examples of solving for the hypotenuse (C) when given the two legs (A and B). It then gives four examples of solving for a leg when given the hypotenuse and other leg. Background information is also provided on Pythagoras, the originator of the Pythagorean theorem, and how to apply the theorem to solve for unknown lengths.

Who was Pythagoras?

C2-A2=B2
602-482=B2
3600-2304=A2
1296=A2
36=A

Pythagoras was a greek


philosopher and mathematician
back in 500 B.C.E. He figured out
the pythagorean theorem,
A2+B2=C2. He associated numbers
with colors, behaviors and many
more. Its like he had Synesthesia.
He established a school in Croton,
Italy. He taught religion on the
principles of metempsychosis. He
passed away in c. 495 B.C. in
Metapontum.
