Pythagoras is just one if those things in math that kierra actually understands :D but after reading this you should understand ALL the basics about pythagoras and that math stuff. =)

The first part in understanding pythagoras is understanding the perfect square chart.. which is :

1 squared = 1 x 1 =1 2 squared = 2 x 2 = 4 3 squared = 3 x 3 = 9 4 squared = 4 x 4 = 16 5 squared = 5 x 5 = 25

I really hope you get this pattern by now. If not >=\

6 squared = 6 x 6 = 36 7 squared = 7 x 7 = 49 8 squared = 8 x 8 = 64

you have to get it by now !

Another thing you will have to understand is the elements of the right triangle

ALWAYS remember:The legs of a right triangle can be labelled either A or B. BUT c MUST ALWAYS equal the hypotenuse. AND the right angle MUST ALWAYS face the hypotenuse or c.

Now getting to the Pythagoras Theorum Formula: The Pythagoras Theorum is simply a2 + b2 = c2.

The squares of the legs A and B = the squares of the hypotenuse.

Once you've got the pythagoras theorum down you can see how the pythagorean formula works : The pythargorean triple is using numbers from the prefect square chart to satisfy a2 + b2 = c2. E.G

Once you've been given what the sides equal all you do is plug in the numbers using the formula. You always go through the formula step by step as shown. remember to line everything up to, so you won't get mixed up !

find the missing leg and hypotenuse !

Bob got his ball stuck in a tree. The tree was 14 m tall. and he was 7 m away from the tree. from his hand down was 140cm. How far does Bob have to reach to get the ball??
