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:

a2+b2=c2

c2 is the hypotenuse and (a2)and(b2) are the other sides. Let's say a was 3 and b was 4

32=9 and 42=16

9+16=25

25= 5

32+42=52
