Hi
How do you find the perimeter of triangle ABC on the Pythagorean theorem?
The pythagorean Theorem States: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
that allows one to find a third side given the other two sides ...
which allows for finding the P = a + b + c
for example: if a = 3 and b = 4, the c =
and therefore, P = 3 + 4 + 5 = 12 units
