Pythagoras
- Theorem
- ONLY WORKS IN RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLES!
- Formula
- a^2 + b^2 = c^2
- a and b are the shorter sides
- c is the hypotenuse
- The square of the hypotenuse (longest side,
opposite right angle) is equal to the sums of
the squares of the other two sides
- Real Life Problems
- A plane flies 6 km northwards, then
8km eastwards. What would be the
distance going straight to the finishing
place from the beginning directly?
- a^2 + b^2 = c^2
- 36 + 64 = c²
- 100 = c²
- √100 = 10
- 10km
