The Pythagorean Theorem refers to the mathematical relationship between the three sides of any right triangle.

"In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).

In other words, if you know the length of two of the sides (the two legs), then the length of the third side (the hypotenuse) can be determined using the following formula:

a2 + b2 = c2
