Exploring the Pythagorean Theorem in Right Triangles

What theorem is used to calculate the sides of a right triangle?

• Euler's Theorem

• Euclid's Theorem

• Pythagoras Theorem

• Fermat's Last Theorem

What is the formula for the Pythagoras Theorem?

• a^2 / b^2 = c^2

• a^2 * b^2 = c^2

• a^2 + b^2 = c^2

• a^2 - b^2 = c^2

If one side of the triangle is 8 and the hypotenuse is 10, what is the initial equation to find the other side?

• x^2 + 64 = 100

• x^2 + 100 = 64

• x^2 + 10 = 8

• x^2 + 8 = 10

How do you isolate x^2 in the equation x^2 + 64 = 100?

• Subtract 64 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 64

• Add 64 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 64

What is the value of x^2 when isolated from the other terms?

• 36

• 28

• 64

• 100

What operation is performed to find the value of x from x^2 = 36?

• Squaring the number

• Taking the square root

• Adding 36

• Subtracting 36

What is the final value of x in the triangle?

• 12

• 10

• 8

• 6
