Can someone help with Pythagoras theorem?
I’m sorry that I can’t show you a diagram over the computer (because that would be the best way to visualize this question) but I will do my best to explain it in words. The Pythagorean Theorem is a formula which is used to determine the length of a missing side of a RIGHT TRIANGLE (This is important to remember because the Pythagorean formula ONLY works for right triangles). This formula is: a²+b² = c² (where a, b represent the two “legs” of the right triangle, and c represents the hypotenuse). Recall that the hypotenuse is the longest side of any right triangle, and it is always directly across from the right angle (i.e. all right triangles contain exactly one right angle which, by definition, equals 90º). Now, we know that a rectangle contains 4 right angles (i.e. each corner of a rectangle measures 90º). So, right away, the ability to turn this into a Pythagorean Theorem problem looks promising. So let us organize your given information… You are told that there exists a rectangul
