the formula: (a)(a) + (b)(b) = (c)(c)

where "a" and "b" are the sides of a triangle both squared and "c" is the hypotenuse squared

here is an example and an easier way to do imagine the number for side A is 5 and the number of B is 12

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 12^2 = c^2

25 + 144 = c^2

169 = c^2

c^2 = 169

c = √169

c = 13

For any right triangle the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse

Formula: a2+b2=c2

If a and b are my legs and c is my hypotenuse, then (a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2)
