It's not as complicated as it sounds; okay. Picture a right triangle. It has three sides, or legs. One side is leg a, the other leg b, and the other leg c. The point of it is just to find what one of the leg's measurements are. The Pythagorean Theorem is technically just "a2 + b2 = c2"
So it's saying that you multiply whatever leg a is by itself, and leg b by itself, add them together, and that will get you c2. Then use a calculator to find the square root of whatever total you got for c2.

Does the Pythagorean theorem always work?
No it never works.
How do you solve a pythagorean theorem?
The formula is A2 + B2 = C2. This theorem only works for right triangles. A and B are the legs and C is the hypotenuse.
What is the standard form of the pythagorean theorem?
the standard form of the Pythagorean Theorem is :a2 + b2 = c2
What are the types of Pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2
Who formulated pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem gets its name from the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. He was one of the first to offer proof of the theorem.
