It is the Pythagorean Theorem, named after the creator Pythagoras. a & b are lengths of legs of a right triangle (legs are the sides adjacent the right angle. c is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

I've heard that the ancient Egyptians knew about the 3-4-5 right triangle and used that knowledge to make sure the pyramids had right angles, but I cannot find that information right now. I think I saw it on the Discovery Channel, or TLC.
