Hey Guys

My Name is Dominic. I am currently studying commerce. I am from and was born in the Philippines, but i grew up and went to high school in the Jakarta International School in Indonesia. I chose UBC because the Campus is amazing and so are the people here. I hope to one day start my own business.

That's pretty much all I have to say!

The Pythagorean theorem is the method that mathematicians traditionally use to find the hypotenuse (the longest side) of a right triangle. The Pythagorean theorem also has applications in finding the other lengths of a right triangle, and can also be used to find angles as well. It also has influences in the unit circle and finding angles. It is an important component in trigonometry and is one of the widely used tools. The formula is to take two of the shortest lengths of three in a right triangle, square them and then add them together. The answer would be the remaining and longest length, squared. Its discovery is often attributed to Pythagoras, a Greek Mathematician (570 - 495 BC). The Pythagorean theorem is applied in real world situations in things such as finding the dimensions of a building, structure or object. The Pythagorean theorem would be most helpful in trying to find out if the angle of a corner in a four-sided building really is 90 degrees.
