Joanna's Scribe post (Pythagorean Relationship)

The variable A and B stands for the legs in a right triangle.
C, on the other hand stands for the hypotenuse, which is the longest line in a triangle.


The Pythagorean Relationship is formula that we use to find a side length in a given triangle.
 It means that when you add the area of leg A and the area of leg B, the sum would be the area of the hypotenuse,C. 

2. Solve for the missing side length.

3. Is this a right triangle? Prove it!!!

No, it's not a right triangle because 

the formula(Pythagorean relationship)

says that a² + b² = c²  but 

when you sum up the leg A and B(8² + 6²)

the answer is 100cm² and not 121cm² which 

is the area of the given measurement(11 cm)  in hypotenuse.
