Question

what does the formula ( a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2} ) represent?
a. perimeter of a rectangle
b. circumference of a circle
c. area of a circle
d. pythagorean theorem

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right - angled triangle, the sum of the squares of the two legs (a and b) is equal to the square of the hypotenuse (c). The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is \(P = 2(l + w)\), the circumference of a circle is \(C=2\pi r\) or \(\pi d\), and the area of a circle is \(A=\pi r^{2}\).

Answer:

d. Pythagorean Theorem
