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.

x squared + y squared = z squared.
Pythagoras did not invent the distance formula as we know it today; however, he is credited with the Pythagorean theorem, which is foundational to the distance calculation in a Cartesian coordinate system. The distance formula, derived from the Pythagorean theorem, was formalized much later, in the context of coordinate geometry, which developed in the 17th century with the work of mathematicians like René Descartes. Thus, while Pythagoras' theorem laid the groundwork, the distance formula itself was not attributed to him.
Pythagoras' theorem is applicable to right angle triangles
