Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a useful tool that shows how the sum of the areas of three intersecting squares can determine the side lengths of a right triangle.

You use the Pythagorean Theorem when you know the lengths of two sides of a right triangle and you want to figure out the length of the third side.
