hey user!
your answer is here...
what is Pythagoras thereom?
→ it was invented by a Greek mathematician "Pythagoras" during 500 b.c.
it states that, the square of hypontuse of a right right angle triangle is the sum of it's square of base and perpendicular.
h² ( hypontuse ) = b² ( base ) + p² ( perpendicular )
now, when we use this??
we use this formula in many ways to solve our problem. like, we have to find the longest side ( hypontuse ) of a right angle triangle or other sides.
example :-
hypontuse of a right angle triangle is 10cm and it's base is 6cm. find it's perpendicular.
given hypontuse is 10cm and base is 6m.
we know that h² = b² + p²
==> 10² = 6² + p²
==> 100 = 36 + p²
==> 100 - 36 = p²
==> 64 = p²
==> p = √64
==> p = 8
hence, it's perpendicular is 8cm.
we also use Pythagoras thereom when we have to find the diagonal of rhombus, if the Length of Another diagonal is given and the side of the rhombus is given.
this formula is also used when we want to locate root numbers in number line. like √2, √3 etc..
I answered what I know only.. if it's not enough and helpful, then sorry :-)
cheers!!
