FAQ – Pythagorean Theorem
What is the Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. Formula: a² + b² = c²
How do I use the Pythagorean Theorem Calculator?
You can calculate the hypotenuse by entering the lengths of side A and side B, or you can find the missing side by entering the hypotenuse and one side.
What are the limitations of the Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right-angled triangles. It does not work for triangles with angles other than 90 degrees.
