The pythagorean theory or pythagorean theorem is a formula to find the leg or the hypotenuse for a right triangle. There are three parts to a triangle, The legs(A2) and (B2). The hypotenuse (C2). The hypotenuse is always the longest side of the triangle it is always adjacent to the 900 angle of the right triangle. The actual pythagorean theorem is A2 + B2 = C2.
Example: A=2 B= 4 C=?
A2 + B2 =C2
22 + 42 =C2
4 + 16= C2
20=C2
Now you find the square root for the two numbers you just added
4.4 = C

If needed, I guess. I do not see lawyers needing the Pythagorean Theory in their work and lawyers are notoriously ignorant of math and science.
3,4,5 1,2,3 these are sets of pythagorean triples
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
The pythagorean principle is A squared + B squared = C squared. This is applyed when solving side lengths of triangles.
If p and q are integers, then a = p2 - q2 b = 2pq, and c = p2 + q2 form a Pythagorean triple. Furthermore, if p and q are co-prime then the triple is primitive Pythagorean.
