Here is an example of the uses of Pythagoras' theorem. a2 + b2= c2.
Â
Say that I want to purchase a suitcase for my trip. The salesperson at the store tells me they have a 30-inch suitcase available and the height is 18 inches. If I calculate the actual length of the suitcase. It would be
182Â + b2Â = 302
324 + b2Â = 900
b2 = 900 – 324
b= √576
= 24 inches
Now the question is..
Could you expand on what you meant by "the actual length"? Why wouldn't that be the 30 inches? Please explain in details. If it the length is 30 inches then why?
