Pythagorean theorem in math?
Hello,
I'm writing a paper soon on the Pythagorean theorem and the Pythagorean theorem. The variables p and q come up (when dividing a triangle using the altitude). How do I know which part is q and which segment is p? Is it always different or always the same?

Usually, the left section q and the right section p are mentioned.
However, the designations in one task can also be quite different. Remember therefore better the kite set regardless of names, e.g.
“In a rectangular triangle, the square above a catthée is equal to the product of the hypotenus section and the hypotenuse.”
I see it like this: in the alphabet q comes after p , in the triangle it is qp (A to height = q and height to B = p )
Common teachers take different letters
But at altitude it doesn’t matter because the yes is h2 = p*q .
In the case of the kite, the following applies: left side with left hypotenus section

catheter set
The catheter set is more for medical (or humorists)
For the arrangement of p and q in the kite:
Fixed arrangement ABC counterclockwise and right angle at C.
q and p lie in the hypotenuse so that the lines are opposite
