Pythagoras' theorem is basically a method to find a missing length of a triangle. So you have side A, B and c. Side c is opposite the right angle in the triangle (right angled triangle) If you square A and B and add them together you will get a number. You then square route that number and that will be the length of side C. As it is opposite the right angle it will be the longest side. If you want to find one of the shorter sides for example A you square C and take B away from it. You then square route this number. If you have a scientific calculator there will be a square and square route symbol. The square symbol is a little two and the square route one is like a tick but the top goes across into a line, if that makes sense. Hope this has helped.

What theorem on triangles did Pythagoras find?

He didn't find any theorem !!! However, the mathematical eq'n bearing his name was known to earlier civilisation , such as the Egyptians, and the Sumerians. However, he introduced and published his eq;n into the western civilisation. The eq'n is ;- h^(2) = a^(2) + b^(2) That is the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the other two sides squared. It only refers to right angled triangles.
