The pythagorean theorem: a theorem in geometry. The square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle equals the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Answer:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Explanation:

With a triangle that has a right angle (90°) and squares are drawn on each of the three sides, the biggest square has the exact same area as the other two smaller squares added together.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

see the picture.
