Pythangorean Theorem

A,B,C just by itself is the length but if you take those letters and square it then its a equal area and if you cube it is a volume.

A=1km(to the second power) plus B=0.5(to the second power) equals C(to the second power) 

After doing this you want to add all the numbers by its self (or in other words you would want to square it) which would give you something that looks like this problem bellow:

1+0.25=C(to the second power) now in order to find your answer while using this theorem (which is one of the most right theorem that's been around for thousands of years) you would add 1 with 0.25 giving you 1.25 and now we know that

C(to the second power)=1.25

but we want to know what C alone is which means we would have to find the square root of it. The answer being: 

C=1.12

Now to plug it back in or check it if you will you would take 1.12*1.12 which will give you 1.25-0.25 (which comes from the B)=1

1.25-0.25=1

  1. Well done, Matija. If you want to type something as squared or to the second power, just write for example 0.5^2

    You'll find that a lot quicker.
