Study Notes
- The text discusses the Pythagorean Theorem, stating 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 other two sides.
- The formula for the Pythagorean Theorem is: (c^2 = a^2 + b^2), where (c) is the hypotenuse and (a) and (b) are the other two sides.
- Different formulas derived from the Pythagorean Theorem include: (a = \sqrt{c^2 - b^2}), (b = \sqrt{c^2 - a^2}), and (c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}).
- Example exercises are given to apply the Pythagorean Theorem, such as finding the length of a side in a right triangle given the lengths of the other sides.
- The exercises involve substituting the given values into the formulas derived from the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the unknown side lengths, involving calculations like square roots and simplifying fractions.
