Can you please prove the hypotenuse leg theorum!?!?

c is equal to the SQUARE ROOT of a squared plus b squared.

triangle: a=3

b=4

c=5

c=the sq. root of (3 x 3) + (4 x 4)

c=square root of (9) + (16)

c= square root of 25

c=5

I drew/wrote it down and scanned it onto the web:

Sorry, it may be a bit hard to read... pencil doesn't scan well (oops!). If you're really having trouble with it, email me at stalepretzel@gmail.com and I can help you out.

Where it says:

remember, (c-a)(c+a)=a^2-a^2,it should say:

(c-a)(c+a)=c^2-a^2

And above that, it should say "The big side has length 2a."

The second method of finding the area is called "Heron's formula"... google/ wikipedia it.

it is a'squared plus b'squared= c'squared

and that is how u find the hypotnuse
