What is Pythagorean's Theorem? And if I have to find the hypotenuse wouldn't the equation be c=

(a²+b²=c²)The pythagorean theorem is used to find the hypotenuse or side of a right triangle. And nope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shorter of the 3 sides are "a" and "b" and the hypotenuse is "c".

The reason you can't do c=√(a+b) is simply because that just isn't how math works (ok hush I know that's a dumb reason lol but just hear me out ok?).

For example, if you have a triangle whose side lengths are 3,4, and 5, you can plug that into the pythagorean theorem to find out that 25 does in fact equal 25.

[3²+4²=5²

9+16=25

25=25]

but... if you were to do it with the equation c=√(a+b) that would not work because 5 does not equal 2.64576... (at least not that I'm aware of...).

[5=√(3+4)

5=√7

5=2.64575

nope.

If you have any other questions just let me know!!!

the answer is. -82562234434584
