Yes, this is known as the Pythagorean theorem. It states that a2 + b2 = c2 where a and b are the lengths of the two sides on either side of the right angle and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
Pythagoras.
No, because the biggest length (hypotenuse) has to be equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides, which it is not

Correct.

pythagorean theorem.
It is Pythagoras' theorem
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 5 and 2 equals the square root of 29 (the sum of the squares of the other two sides) which is approximately 5.385.
A hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle. The length of a hypotenuse can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem. This states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This means that to find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to know the lengths of the other two sides.
The Pythagorean Theorem
It was the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the square root of the sums of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides, i.e. it is c, where c2 = (a2 + b2).The hypotenuse for the example is c = [sqrt (52 + 122)] = [sqrt (25+144)]= sqrt [169] = 13.
