 Pythagorean Theorem?
c
b
  It
is an equation that solves the
hypotenuse (the opposite of the right a
angle) of a right triangle.
 This theorem can be written as an
equation including the three lengths of
the triangle as , in which c represents the
hypotenuse and a and b represent the
other lengths.
a² + b² = c²
 Forthis equation, we need to use square roots. The
lengths need to be squared first before getting the
hypotenuse. The hypotenuse then will be the
square root of the sum.
