Also, using the pythagorean method, you can find the length of any side of a right triangle, providing you have the length of atleast two sides.
By re-arranging the formula, the pythagorean world is at your feet.. sort of.
C(squared)= B(squared) + A(squared)
where as;
B(squared)= C(squared) + A(squared)
and;
A(squared)=B(squared) + C(squared)
Following the directiosn in my previous post, will get you any length of any side of a right triangle. All you need to know is the length of two of the sides. Or atleast, for now you have to know 2 sides. When I get into grade 10 mathematics, and learn the other ways, I'll resurrect this thread, and explain more

And so concludes our lesson for today
