APPLYING THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse to solve problems
involving right triangles.
RECTANGULAR PRISM DIAGRAM
A rectangular prism has base edges labeled a and b, a base diagonal
labeled c, vertical height x, and a space diagonal labeled d.
For the right triangle on the base:
a² + b² = c²
For the right triangle formed by the base diagonal, height, and space diagonal:
c² + x² = d²
