Explanation

The theorem you mentioned is known as Pythagoras' Theorem, which states:


c^2 = a^2 + b^2

where:

  • cc is the hypotenuse (the longest side of a right-angled triangle).
  • aa and
    b
    are the other two sides.

It was discovered by the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras and is fundamental in geometry.
