Best Answer

a2 + b2 = c2

c = sqrt(a2 + b2)

Where 'c' is the hypotenuse, a or b is the opposite or adjacent, and the other one respects it being the other one of opposite or adjacent.

This only works for RIGHT TRIANGLES.

How do you find the pythgorean theorem?

a(squared)+b(squared)=c(squared) The largest number is the c, and you can choose the a and b, since you need to find the a or the b. For example: You have the numbers 3, and 5 and you needed to find b. a(squared+b(squared)=c(squared) 3(squared)+b(squared)=5(squared) 9+b(squared)=25 -9 -9 b(squared)=16 Then take the square root b=4
