WHAT IS THE EQUATION FOR PYTHAGORAS THEOREM?
In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras’ theorem is a relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle (right-angled triangle). In terms of areas, it states: In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle). The theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths of the sides a, b and c, often called the Pythagorean equation: a squared plus b squared equals c squared where c represents the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b represent the lengths of the other two sides.
