Pytahgoras was known for proving the equation c2 = a2+b2
This equation only works on right angled triangles.
In this equation the 2's are meaning squared
If you make a right angle and use A as the base and the B as the branch forming the right angle of the base the diagonal that forms the other side of the triangle is the "C" which stands for hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle (90 degree) and is the longest side of the triangle.
eg
Pretend the A is 4
and the B is 5
And the question was find the hypotenuse of a triangle...
C2 = 4 (squared) + 5 (squared)
C2 = 16 + 25
C2 = 41
C = The square root of 41
(because the opposite of the original squared is square root)
C = 6.4
Good Luck :)
