a²+b²=c² The letters a and b represent the two legs of a right triangle and the letter c represents the hypotenuse (longest side, adjacent to right angle). This being said, the two legs squared equal the hypotenuse squared. Finding the square root will give you the hypotenuse length.

Who invented the pythegorean theorem?

Actually, the theorem has been used long ago before mathematician called Pythagoras came along. It was previously already applied in Indian society. The theorem only came to be known as "Pythagoras Theorem" because he (or his students) were the first ones to construct a proof for the theorem.


Is the pythagorean theorem is an iportant math concept?

yes the pythegorean theorem (a2x b2=c2) is used for right triangles a and b are the legs (the sides that make up the right triangle) and c is the hypothenus(the longest side)
