Well other than the way its listed in the text the way that the pythagorean theorem can be used any time is when we have a right triangle, we know the length of two sides, and we want to find the third side. A basic example I would like to use is the following which is I was in Walmart the other day and saw a nice entertainment center on sale at a good price. The space for the TV set measured 17" x 21". I didn't want to take the time to go home to measure my TV set, or get the cabinet home only to find that it was too small. I knew my TV set had a 27" screen, and TV screens are measured on the diagonal. To figure out whether my TV would fit, I calculated the diagonal of the TV space in the entertainment center using the Pythagorean theorem: 172 + 212 = 289 + 441 = 730 So the diagonal of the entertainment center is the square root of 730, which is about 27.02". From figuring that out i saw that my tv should fit, but the 27" diagonal on the TV set measures the screen only, not the housing, speakers and control buttons. These extend the TV set's diagonal several inches, so I figured that my TV would not fit in the cabinet. When I got home, I measured my TV set and found that the entire set was 21" x 27.5", so it was a good decision not to buy the entertainment center.…

The first steps in solving a quadratic equation is to make sure the equation is in standard for (ax2+ bx +c = 0). If it is, then you can proceed in identifying a, b, and c in the equation. To Once those values have been identified; substitute them into the quadratic formula paying special attention to parentheses and negative numbers as it is easy to make simple errors. Then you can go ahead and simplify the expression to determine the values for “x”.…
