The longest side of the triangle in the pythagorean theorem is referred to as the hypotenuse. Use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the value of x. C 2 a 2 b 2.
Students will encounter this theorem in their math curriculum on various standardized tests and in real world applications outside the classroom.
Unknown side of triangle hypotenuse only. All sides are whole numbers. We know the length of two sides of the triangle and to determine the length of the hypotenuse we just have to insert the lengths we know into the equation. C 2 181.
