The Pythagorean theorem can be done this way.
a²+b²=c²
lets say that you have a triangle with three sides, but you are only given two. Their values are 3 and 4. Now you have to fill in the values with a=3 and b=4 (doesn't matter which order you put it in)
3²+4²=c²
c is still unknown so we have to do the next step.
3² is 9 and 4² is 16. knowing this, we have to do this next:
9+16=c²
9+16 is 25.
25=c²
now you must get rid of the ². you do this by using the square root.
don't ask me why you square root, that's just how the Pythagorean theorem works.
√25=√c²
the square root gets rid of the c squared so its just the square root of 25.
5=c
triangle sides: 3,4,5
The process can also be reversed.
a²=c²-b²
or
b²=c²-a²

Converse of Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
