The Pythagorean Theorem defines the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle in terms of the other two sides (the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the two sides).

The formula is a2 + b2 = c2 where a and b are the shorter two sides and c is the longest side, or hypotenuse, which is opposite the right angle.
