How does the pythagorean theory work?

"a2+b2=c2"

This theory helps you compute the unknown side in a right triangle, when only one side is given. So if they give one side as 4, and another as 3, you would do this: 42+32= c2 ,

16+9=c2,

25=c2, so now you find the square root of 25 (5).

So now the measures are: 4,3, and 5.
