the Pythagorean theorem—or Pythagoras' theorem—is a relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths of the sides a, b and c, often called the Pythagorean equation:[1]
if c denotes the length of the hypotenuse and a and b denote the lengths of the other two sides, the Pythagorean theorem can be expressed as the Pythagorean equation:
So if you had a triangle that the a side equaled 4 and the b side equaled 3. find the c side (hyponusus)
4^2 + 3^2 = c^2, 16 + 9 = 25^2
So the other side (c) would be 25 to find the number take the sq rt of a sqt number abd it equal the numbet itself or i the case 25 times 25 = 625, then sqt rt = 25
side a = 4
side b = 3
side c = 25
sq rt of 25 = 5
