The theorem uses a side called the "hypotenuse" this is the longest side of any triangle. The formula is x= nn + mm (x is the hypotenuse and n and m are the other sides)
Lets say the sides were 3 and 4.
x = 3x3 + 4x4
x = 9 + 16
x = 25. This is NOT the finished result, as we still have to SQUARE ROOT this. 25 square rooted is 5. So the sides are 3, 4 and 5

Pythagoras theorem
The Pythagoras Theorem is-a mathematical equation that measures the area belonging to-a triangle.
he discovered it in 196C
Pythagoras's' theorem or "got an want" on a right angled triangle but use sine rule on a non right angled triangle !! ..
Yes, it's called Pythagoras theorem
