How to do Pythagorean theorem

Materials

Now for materials all you need is either a note book or a piece of paper and any type of writing utensil.๐Ÿ“’โœ๏ธ

Steps:

Let's proceed to the fun part here below we have a right triangle that has 2 lengths down for us already 3in and 12in but length a is missing.๐Ÿ™€

Don't worry he formula is very simple it's a^2 + b^2= c^2. All you have to do is plug in the units.๐Ÿ”ข

As u see above we are missing length a so we leave it blank.But how do we know which one is b or c๐Ÿ˜ฅ.Simple... c is the longest length and the hypothenuse is across the square of he right triangle and b and a will always be the shortest lengths.๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Now that you multiply both sides by themselves you should of got 9 for b and 144 for c๐Ÿ˜.Now we must get a by itself so we can find its value,but how do we do that?๐Ÿค”Well subtract b which is 9 and you do it aswell on the other side because what you do to one side you do it to another.๐Ÿ˜You should of got a=135

Now remember in the formula that at the beginning everything was square well now you do the opposite and you square root it and a should be........๐Ÿ˜ฎ

But there's another way that you are going to have to solve different problems.๐Ÿ˜Ÿ๐Ÿ˜จ

This time you have length a and b but not c... Oh no๐Ÿ˜–.

Same process you plug in the units for length a and b which is 5 and 6 square equals c^2.Leave c blank.Now square a and b and you should get 25 and 36 but instead of subtracting now you must add to get the total of c which is 61.Square root 61 and c should equal 7.810.๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค“

Conclusion

There is just 2 ways to solve the Pythagorean theorem well also other ways but that's more of algebra 2 stuff,hope this helped you๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜—.
