lets see a and b are legs c=hypotnuse a^2+b^2=c^2 10^2+b^2=10^2 100+b^2=100 minus 100 both sides b^2=0 b=0 false, if you have a leg legnth 0, then they lines are right on top of each other
To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c².
