2. Pythagorean Theorem
In mathematics, 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, band c, often
called the Pythagorean equation:
where c represents the length of the
hypotenuse, and a and b represent the
lengths of the other two sides.
