the pythagorean theorem is a formula in which the Hypotenuse measure is found out by using the 2 measurements of the other segments
the hypotenuse is the longest end of a RIGHT triangle. (only right)
example
The slanted line is the hypotenuse if you put it with the right angle touching the ground. now lets say that the other sides (called the legs) are 4 and 2
the pythagorean throrem is A2+B2=C2
that is 42+22=C2
16+4=C2
20=C2
√20=C
√20 = √(4x5)
= √4 x √5
= 2 x √5
= 2√5

the standard form of the Pythagorean Theorem is :a2 + b2 = c2
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2
The Pythagorean theorem gets its name from the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. He was one of the first to offer proof of the theorem.
Since the Pythagorean theorem is named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, it was reasonable to assume that he is the first person to have it.
In the Pythagorean Theorem b is not twice a. The formula is [ a squared + b squared = c squared].
