Right Triangle Trigonometry
Pythagorean Theorem
• Recall that a right triangle has a 90° angle as one of its angles.
• The side that is opposite the 90° angle is called the
hypotenuse.
• The Pythagoreans theorem says that the square of the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.
c2 = a2 + b2
