natasha's pythagorean relationship







the pythagorean relationship can be used to show if a triangle is a right triangle.
Left side:
6 squared+8 square= 10 squared
(6x6)+(8x8)=(10x10)
36+64=100
square root of "C" squared= square root of 100cm squared is 10
C=10cm
the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares is 100cm squared.
the triangle is a right triangle.











a squared+b squared= c squared
8 squared+6 squared=11 squared
(8x8)+(6x6)=(11x11)
64+36=121
square root of "C"squared= square root of 121cm squared is 11
C=11cm
the triangle a right triangle.













C squared= a squared+b squared
C squared= 12 squared+5 squared
C squared=(12x12)+(5x5)
C squared=144+100
C squared=244 squared
square root of "C" squared= square root of 244 is 15
C square= 15cm
