This is the description of the Pythagorean theorem. It applies to any "right" triangle -- that is, a triangle with one angle of exactly 90-degrees, and two other angles that add up to 90-degrees. A = the measurement of the length of one side of the triangle making up the 90-degree angle. B = the measurement of the length of the OTHER side of the triangle making up the 90-degree angle, perpendicular to "A". C = the measurement of the length of the third side of the triangle opposite to the 90-degree angle, also called the hypotenuse In any right triangle, A-squared + B-squared = C-squared
