Recall that the Pythagorean Theorem states that in any right triangle with sides a and b and
hypotenuse c, it is true that a ² + b ² = c ².
Not exact matches
The Pythagorean Theorem, for instance: A squared plus B squared =
C squared, where
C is the length of the
hypotenuse of a right angle triangle «works» — using your term — regardless of the knowledge or bias of any scientist.
If you know the length of a right - angle triangle's
hypotenuse (
c) and the ratio between its sides (a and b), you can work out the lengths of those sides and, consequently, the area of the rectangle within which that triangle resides.
