Solve 兩股為 5 與 12 的直角三角形 — c = 13

Method: 畢氏定理. Verified step-by-step solution with our free AI math solver.
Problem

a2+b2=c2, a=5, b=12a^2 + b^2 = c^2,\ a=5,\ b=12

Step-by-step solution

  1. 確定兩股:a=5a = 5b=12b = 12

  2. 套用畢氏定理:a2+b2=c2a^2 + b^2 = c^2

  3. 代入:25+144=c225 + 144 = c^2,所以 c2=169c^2 = 169

  4. 取正平方根:c=13c = 13

  5. (5,12,13)(5, 12, 13) 是第二小的 本原畢氏三元數(無法由其他三元數縮放得到)— 在考試題目中不斷出現。

Answer

c=13c = 13
