How do you use the pythagoras equation?
Used for right angled triangles where c is the hypothenuse and a and b are the two other sides.
Equation: a2 + b2 = c2
Label the sides of the triangle before starting.
To find the length of c you do the root of a2 + b2.
To find the length of either for example b, you rearrange the equation and find the root of c2 - a2.
