The pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the hypotenuse ( the line opposite of the right angle) squared is the two sides squared and added up. In other words. a squared plus b squared equals c squared. C squared is the hypotenuse squared. then, you can find the length of C by finding the square root of C. Ex. right triangle has 2 sides with lengths. 4 and 5. the missing length is c. 4 squared plus 5 squared equals 16 plus 25 which is 41. square root of 41 is 6.4. That is the length of c. sorry if it's a little confusing.
