...are properly basic (see chap. 5). For example, the proposition The sum of the squares of the sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse is self-evidently true. Similarly, the proposition expressed by the sentence "I feel pain" is incorrigibly...

...computer in single precision? 7. The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the squares of the sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. Thus, if x and y are the lengths of the two sides of a right triangle, and z is the length of the hypotenuse,...

...geometry. Not only did he come up with the Pythagorean theorem — the sum of the squares of the sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse — but he also taught that Earth was a globe (not a cylinder, as Anaximander thought), fixed within...

...to explain to a person with the magic or mythic worldview that the sum of the squares of the sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. You can explain all day, but a first grade student just won't get it. This geometry theorem does not...

...rectangular pyramid Prism Pythagorean Theorem A theorem that the sum of the squares of the two sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. Example: a2 + b2 = c2 42 + 32 = 52 '16 + 9 = 25 Quadrant A quarter of a plane figure that has been...

...in more depth. A more descriptive statement of the theorem is the sum of the squares of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. That's a mouthful. Say you have the triangle shown in Figure 3-21. The two legs, A and B, have measurements...

...found her when he returned from his golf game with Carmelo Ignaffo. "The sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. That's a squared plus b squared equals c squared," she explained to her unborn child. "Now get it in...

...foundation for mathematics. The theorem, x2 + y2 = z2 says that the sum of the squares of any two sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. The Pythagorean Theorem is true for any right triangle imaginable to infinity. In other words, it is...

...have the familiar theorem. 4.3.1 Pythagorean Theorem The sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. Geometrically, this means that the area A is equal to the sum of the areas B and C as shown in Figure...
