As you can see there Is only two numbers on it but there is three sides. The number six will be side a and the number ten will be side b and there is no number for c so that is the hypotenuse.
First next we will write what we are given we are given six and ten so A^2+B^2=C^2 then we will change a and be to 6^2+10^2=C^2.
To calculate side c we can use A^2+B^2=C^2.
Then you will go 6x6+10x10
6x6=36 10x10=100. Then you add the two together so 36+100= 136^2, Then you will use square root to find the missing side and the answer is 11.6 but you can round it up if you want.
And that is how you do Pythagoras theorem.
I'll give you guys a go do comment me the answer
here is the triangle with the numbers already on it
Hi josh, i like how you have explained how it works but i think you could have formatted it out better
