Joshua Rego's Pythagoras Scribe

1. The relationship between a2+b2=c2 is that a+b=c (leg+leg=hypotnuse.)


2. The way I figured out the hypotenuse was by using the 2 legs (12cm and 5cm) to find the hypotenuse.
a2+b2=c2
12squared+5squared=c2
(12x12)(5x5)=c2
 144+25=c
c=169
Square root of c =Square root of 169
c2=13

3. The side lengths are 6,8 and 11cm. the way to find out if this triangle is a right triangle is to add up the two legs and see if they equal the hypotenuse.
6+8=14
This is not a right triangle.
