a2 + b2 = c2

b2+a2=c2

c2-a2=b2

c2-b2=a2

PUZZLE AND PROOFS: USING PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

  • the theorem that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

C will always be larger than side single lengths A and B. BUT also always equal to a2+b2. C is also always cross from the 90 dregree (right) angle

a2= the square of side length 1

b2=the square of side length 2

c2= the square of the hypotenuse (also the longest side
