There are several formulae that have his name. But, the best known one refers to the relations between the lengths of the sides of a right angled triangle.

If a right angled triangle has sides of length x, y and z units, and z is the hypotenuse (the longest side or the side opposite the right angle), then

x^2 + y^2 = z^2.
