Beats me. Do you have a diagram to refer to? If not, you should make one, based on the description of the points.Natasha1 said:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a mathematical principle that states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Pythagoras was an ancient Greek mathematician and philosopher who is best known for his work in geometry and is credited with discovering the Pythagorean Theorem.
Algebra is used to represent the Pythagorean Theorem in a formula, where a and b are the lengths of the two legs of a right triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse: a² + b² = c². Algebra can also be used to solve for any of the three sides of a right triangle given the other two lengths.
The Pythagorean Theorem has many practical applications in fields such as architecture, engineering, and physics. It can be used to calculate distances, heights, and areas in real-world scenarios, such as determining the length of a ladder needed to reach a certain height on a building.
Yes, the Pythagorean Theorem only applies to right triangles, which are triangles with one angle that measures 90 degrees. It does not work for other types of triangles, such as equilateral or scalene triangles.
