What is the Pythagorean theorem and how does it apply to special right triangles?
The Pythagorean theorem is a formula that states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs. In special right triangles, such as the 45-45-90 and 30-60-90 triangles, the theorem can be used to find missing side lengths.
