Question 12439: If there was an right-angle triangle, and I wanted to find out the lengths of the 2 unknown sides, by using the pthagoreom theorem, it would be A(squared)+B(squared)=6(squared). Is it possible, if so how, to find the lengths of A and B of they were the same lengths? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Pythagorean theorem states that, for any right-triangle:
where: c is the length of the hypotenuse and a & b are the lengths of the two legs.
If and side a = side b, then:
Add the a^2 terms. Divide both sides by 2. Take the square root of both sides.
So each side of the right-triangle is and the hypotenuse is 6.
