X2= Y2+Z2
X is the hypotenuse as it is the longest side.
Y and Z can be either of the sides.
Example:
X2=22+42
X2=4+16
X2=20
SQUARE ROOT 20
X= 4.47
X= 4.5
OR
62= Y2+42
36=Y2+16
36-16=Y2
Y2=20
SQUARE ROOT 20
Y=4.47
Y=4.5

~The Pythagoras theorem
Pythagoras is most famous for discovering Pythagoras' Theorem, which is a formula for finding lengths of sides on a right angled triangle. The formula is: a2+b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse (longest side of the triangle) and a and b are the shorter sides.
