March Forth and Do the Math...

Pythagoras can help...


In a right triangle...



The square of the hypotenuse
is equal to the sum of the squares
of the other two sides...



a2 + b2 = c2



32 + 42 = 52



Why is this useful, you ask?
If we know the lengths of two sides of a right-angled triangle,
then Pythagorean Theorem allows us to find the length of the third side...


3 [March] . 4 [Day] . 5 . oh... [Year]
