About the Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean theorem is one of the most famous equations in mathematics: a² + b² = c². It describes the relationship between the three sides of any right triangle, where c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90° angle).

a² + b² = c²

Find c (hypotenuse)

c = √(a² + b²)

Find a (leg)

a = √(c² − b²)

Find b (leg)

b = √(c² − a²)
