Answer: The theorem states that for any right triangle, the sum of the squares of the non-hypotenuse sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. In other words, for a right triangle with perpendicular sides of length a and b and hypotenuse of length c, a2 + b2 = c2.

Explanation:

an example if Right triangles that have lengths equaling 3-4-5 or 5-12-13 , or even 7-24-25, are special types of right triangles, because all three lengths are integers that together satisfy the Pythagorean theorem. Such triangles are called Pythagorean triplets.
