Pythagoras Theorem : AB 2 = BC 2 + AC c 2 =a 2 +b 2
3) Some common Pythagorean triples are: ( 3 , 4 , 5 ) , ( 6 , 8 , 10 ) , ( 5 , 12 , 13 ) , ( 8 , 15 , 17 ) and ( 7 , 24 , 25 ). 4) The converse Pythagoras Theorem states that if the square of the longest side equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite the longest side is a right angle. 5) In ABC a) If c 2 = a Then b) If c 2 Then c) If a 2 Then
