Example Pythagorean theorem practice questions

In a right triangle with legs 3 and 4, what is the hypotenuse?5. Because 3² + 4² = 25, and the square root of 25 is 5.

Which side of a right triangle is the hypotenuse?The longest side, opposite the right angle, because the Pythagorean relationship uses it as c.

True or false: a² + b² = c² holds for any triangle.False. It only holds for right triangles, where c is the hypotenuse.

A right triangle has hypotenuse 13 and one leg 5. What is the other leg?12. Because 13² − 5² = 144, and the square root of 144 is 12.

Can a triangle with sides 5, 6 and 7 be a right triangle?No. 5² + 6² = 61, but 7² = 49, so the sides do not satisfy a² + b² = c².

Frequently asked questions

How many practice questions should I do for the Pythagorean theorem?

There is no fixed number, but mixing problems that find the hypotenuse with problems that find a missing leg builds the skill better than repeating one type. Redo the questions you got wrong until you can solve them without looking at the explanation.

How do I tell which side is the hypotenuse?

The hypotenuse is always the longest side of a right triangle and sits directly across from the right angle. The legs are the two sides that form the right angle.

Does DeckOwl have a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports.

What do I get with a paid plan?
