The document discusses the Pythagoras theorem in three dimensional situations. It explains how the Pythagoras theorem, which is commonly used to calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle based on the lengths of the other two sides, can also be applied to find the length of the diagonal of a cuboid or the distance between two points in three-dimensional space. The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b).
