how do I figure out the legnths of a triangle

Note that the Pythagorean Theorem only works with right triangles. You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangleif you know the length of the triangle's other two sides, called the legs. Put another way, if you know thelengths of a and b, you can find c.
