So, I have a question on a project that asks why you get a different answer when measuring the side of a hypotenuse versus using the Pythagorean Theorem. I did get different answers, but I just can't figure out why.

It would be great if you could answer this please!!
I'm just bumping this up to the top of the page.
The only reason I can think of is that a measurement is subject to error (and is really only a decimal approximation), whereas the PT results is exact.
Hey thanks Steve!
