Pythagorean theorem
The Pythagorean theorem is a fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry. It helps to calculate every side of a right triangle. The Pythagorean equation is:
a² + b² = c²
The edge c represents the hypotenuse, a and b the legs. The right angle must be between the legs a and b. See the illustration on the left to see what is meant.
