What is Pythagorean Theorem?
How do we use Pythagorean Theorem?
Pythagorean Theorem is a rule that helps findthe distance or measure of one side of a right
triangle when two measures are known.
Substitute the measures into thePythagorean Theorem,use Algebra to solve the equation.

a = 5b = 6c = x
Step 2:
a2
+ b2
= c2
52
+ 62
= x2
25 + 36 = x2
61 = x2
Using the Pythagorean theorem, it is possible, knowing thelength of sides a and b, to figure out the length of side c.
Step 3
61 = x2
61 = x
7.81 = xx = c =7.81 cm
