SOLUTION: I was wondering if in the theorum of a2 + b2 = c2 if you can designate all the values as 1 so that the equation would read 1 squared + 1 squared = 1 squared? If you can not do this

Question 237118: I was wondering if in the theorum of a2 + b2 = c2 if you can designate all the values as 1 so that the equation would read 1 squared + 1 squared = 1 squared? If you can not do this, I was wondering if you could explain to me why that is? Thank you!

1^2 + 1^2 = 1^2
it would not work out because 1 squared is 1,
and 1 plus one equals 2.
2 doesn't equal one.
______________________________
the only way 1 could be close C would be to find the square root of .5 because .5+.5 = 1
right?
well the square root of .5 is .7071067812
if you were to round to .71
you'd get
.5041 + .5041 = 1.0082

Pythagorean Theorum is used with right triangles.
1 over and 1 up, the distance from point to point will be more than 1.
1 sq + 1 sq =2, it's the sq rt of 2, which is 1.4142
