Question

does the pythagorean theorem work for every right triangle or for just right triangles.
a every triangle
b only right triangles

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right - angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, i.e., \(a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\), where \(c\) is the hypotenuse and \(a\), \(b\) are the other two sides. This theorem is a fundamental property of right - angled triangles and does not hold for non - right - angled triangles. So the Pythagorean theorem works only for right triangles.

Answer:

B. only right triangles
