How do you solve the pythgorean theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c².

You use this formula to find a missing side on a right triangle. a and b are the sides that make up the right angle, and c is always the longest side of the triangle, so the one directly opposite of the right angle. When you have a and b, you square them, add them together, and find the square root of the sum to find c.

When you have a OR b and c, you square them both, and then divide c by a OR b to find the missing side. The Pythagorean Theorem is extremely useful.

Hope that helps!

The pythagorean theorem states that c squared = a squared + b squared.

C is the hypotenuse of the triangle. A and B are the other two sides

AC is about 4.29

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to use simple trigonometry for this problem

the tangent of an angle is the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side

so the tangent of the angle 35º is BC / AC

tan(35) is about 0.7

this means that BC / AC = 0.7

we know BC is 3

so 3 / AC = 0.7

3 = 0.7(AC)

AC is about 4.29
