It's to do with The Greek mathematician called Pythagoras. He was into trangles, particulary right angles ones, where he came up with a theory that relates the lengths of each side in a right angle triangle.

How do you find the unknown side length of a shape?

To find the unknown side length of a shape, you can use various mathematical principles depending on the shape and known information. For triangles, you might apply the Pythagorean theorem or trigonometric ratios if you have angles and one side. For polygons, you could use properties like the sum of interior angles or the relationships between sides. Additionally, algebraic equations can be set up if you have sufficient information to solve for the unknown length.
