PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM Trigonometry Example: The two legs of a right triangle are 5 ft and 12 ft. How long is the hypotenuse? Let the hypotenuse be c ft. a² + b² = c² 12² + 5² = c² 144 + 25 = c² 169 = c² 169 c 13 ft = c Using the Pythagorean theorem, one can determine the value of the unknown side of a right triangle when given the value of the other two sides. Example: Given that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 18" and the length of one side is 11", what is the length of the other side? a² b² c² 11² b² 18² b² 18² 11² b² 324 121 b 203 b 14.2 in MA-04 Page 2 Rev. 0
