1. If a triangle has sides a=3 and b=4, what is c²?
Correct! 3² (9) + 4² (16) = 25.
2. Pythagoras theorem ONLY works on which type of triangle?
Correct! It only applies to triangles with a 90° angle.
3. If the Hypotenuse (c) is 10, and side (a) is 6, what is side (b)?
Correct! 100 - 36 = 64. The square root of 64 is 8.
