Pythagorean Theorem is simply the formula to find the hypotenuse on a triange (as shown below):
The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.
To find the hypotenuse you need to know the Pythagorean Theorem formula:
$${{\mathtt{a}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{{\mathtt{b}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {{\mathtt{c}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$
$${{\mathtt{c}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$ is the hypotenuse and $$\left({{\mathtt{a}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}\right)\,{ and }\,\left({{\mathtt{b}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}\right)$$ are the other sides. Let's say a was 3 and b was 4
$${{\mathtt{3}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {\mathtt{9}}$$ and $${{\mathtt{4}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {\mathtt{16}}$$
9+16=25
$${\sqrt{}}$$25= 5
$${{\mathtt{3}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{{\mathtt{4}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}} = {{\mathtt{5}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$
