[Calc] Pythagorean Theorem

This program finds the missing side length of a right triangle given the other two sides using the Pythagorean theorem. It can come in handy, plus it gives you all the data that you would get from the in between steps so you can write that down and make it look like you did work ;) like always, don't copy and paste the program because it won't work.

ty but if you kno the 2 sides you just use this formula a*a+b*b=c*c
if it could do it knowing the angles or only 1 side it would be awsome
good job though

its mathematically impossible to do that -_-
and nice app WMD, but the extension is .8xp?

no shit. you just described the pythagorean theorem. a² + b² = c². this is a program for your calculator that does all the work for you. -_-

no, if you know the angles you can use the law of cosines to find the side lengths. just learned about that yesterday in teh skool. at least i think so. we've been applying it to triangles that aren't right triangles but i don't see why it wouldn't work for a right triangle. if that is the case, i might write something to do if for me, if i do, i'll share with you nubbies. but i doubt i will that little phase died out fast. and .8xp is the extension because that's the extension for a TI-83/84 Plus calculator program, hence the [Calc] in the description.

Very cool, too bad I use a cheap calc :D

=o My dumb Alg 2 Math teacher is going through this. Im like a Genious In Math, (Cuz im ahead in credits :]) But i wish i had a good calculator to use this! Nice Job.
