Pythagorean theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem is a fundamental principle in mathematics that describes the relationship between the sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
The formula for the Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c², where a and b are the lengths of the two shorter sides of the right triangle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse. This theorem can be used to find the length of a missing side of a right triangle when the lengths of the other two sides are known.
