Hi! :)

I assume you meant to say the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is
a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2) and it is used to find the length of a side of a triangle.

Hope this helps!

in EVERY right-angled triangle the square on the hypotenuse = the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides. The hypotenuse is the longest side ( opposite the right angle).

So if the length of the hypotenuse = c units and the lengths of the 2 legs are a and b units The theorem says

c^2 = a^2 + b^2.
