Pythagorean Theorem
Subject:
This formula is extremely essential especially later on. Note that this formula only applies to right triangles. The formula is
a^2+b^2=c^2
A and B being the two legs.
C being the hypotenuse of the triangle.
The hypotenuse (c) is the side opposite the largest angle in the triangle. In this case for a right triangle, the hypotenuse will always be opposite of the right angle.

The theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths of the sides a, b and c, often called the Pythagorean equation:[1]
A^2+B^2=C^2
where c represents the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b represent the lengths of the other two sides.

Tags:
For use with triangles, the theorem is that A Squared + B squared = C squared. C represents the Hypotenuse and A/B represent the other two legs.

Pythagorean Theorem

Definition
The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse", so the formal definition is:
In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to
the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
So, the square of a (a²) plus the square of b (b²) is equal to the square of c (c²):
a2 + b2 = c2
Sure ... ?
Let's see if it really works using an example. A "3,4,5" triangle has a right angle in it, so the formula should work.
Let's check if the areas are the same:
32 + 42 = 52
Calculating this becomes:
9 + 16 = 25
Yes, it works !
