Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Slide 9-7 Pythagorean Theorem The Pythagorean theorem applies only to right triangles (those with one 90 angle). For a right triangle with side lengths a, b, and c, in which c is the longest side (or hypotenuse), the Pythagorean theorem states that a 2 + b 2 = c 2 10-B a b c
