The Pythagoras method or theorem is a statement that concludes the area of two small squares is equal to the area of one large one. The algebraic formula is a² + b²=c². C is the hypotenuse or base while a and b are the two lengths of the triangle. In geometry, it is the basis for the definition of the distance between two points.
