Connexus use the pythagorean theorem quick check
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
In mathematical terms, this can be represented as:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.
For example, if we have a right triangle with side lengths of 3 and 4, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. Using the formula:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2
c^2 = 9 + 16
c^2 = 25
To find the value of c, we take the square root of both sides:
c = √25
c = 5
So, the length of the hypotenuse in this triangle is 5.
