Pythagoras. Thus the Pythagorean theorem.

Pythagoras.
That's the Pythagorean Theorem", named for the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras.
sum of squares of opposite sides
Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.Converse: If the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides of a triangle, then it is a right triangle.
A triangle is a right triangle if the sum of the squares of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the length of the hypotenuse times itself. This is also equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides in a right triangle.
It is Pythagoras' theorem
That is the Pythagoras theorem.
Construct a right angle triangle with a base of 3 units, a height of 4 units with a hypotenuse of 5 units and then:- Enlarge the base to 3 by 3 square units = 9 squares Enlarge the height to 4 by 4 square units = 16 squares Enlarge the hypotenuse to 5 by 5 square units = 25 squares Thus proving Pythagoras' theorem: a2+b2 = c2 whereas a and b are the sides of the triangle with c being its hypotenuse or longest side
