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
