Answer:
The Pythagoras theorem states that, "the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides".
The basic formula to calculate hypotenuse is a² + b² = c², where c represents the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the triangle's other two sides.
If the length of both a and b are known, then c can be calculated as
In this triangle, c2=a2 + b2
Although Pythagoras theorem is applicable in case of a right-angled triangle only, yet it has a lot of direct and indirect applications.
