| The Pythagorean theorem deals with the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. The equation for it is a^2+ b ^2= c^2 and it is used to find the hypotenuse of the triangle. | |

| Hey Mr. Sarles, what is the Pythagorean Theorem? | |
 | |  |
|

 | |  |
| Does that answer your question? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yes, but do you mind to show me an example? | |
 | |  |

|
 | |  |
| a= 5, b= 6, and c=? 5^2+ 6^2= c^2 25+36= c^2 61=c^2 Then you take the square root of 61 to get c= 7.8 | |
