The Pythagoras Theorem

The Pythagoras Theorem

1. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

   • "c" being the hypotenuse

2. 'The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides'

3. c^2- b^2 = a^2

4. c^2 - a^2 = b^2

5. The Pythagoras theorem can also help you work out distances between2 diagonal points on a graph.

   • Just draw a rightangled triangle making use of the points and work out the hypotenuse.
