Pythagorean theorem quiz: 10 questions
Remember
Remember
- \(a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}\), where \(c\) is the hypotenuse.
- To find a leg: \(a^{2} = c^{2} – b^{2}\).
- Converse: if \(a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}\), the triangle has a right angle.
- Common triples: 3-4-5, 5-12-13, 8-15-17 and their multiples.
- The theorem works in 3D: the space diagonal satisfies \(d^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}\).
