Pythagorean theorem
Also known as Pythagoras' theorem, Pythagorean proposition, a² + b² = c², a²+b²=c²
relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle
AI overview
The Pythagorean theorem describes a mathematical relationship between the three sides of a right triangle, stating that the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This principle is fundamental to geometry and has practical applications in fields like construction, engineering, and navigation where measuring distances and angles in right triangles is essential.
