Pythagoras Theorem

Pythagoras Theorem:

The Pythagoras Theorem is the theorem which is developed by a Greek mathematician named Pythagoras, for finding the sides of any right angle triangle. It is also used to verify the triangle is Right angle triangle or not. According to him, the sum of square of two smaller sides is equal to the square of largest side. It is given by the formulae,

According to Pythagorean Theorem: c² = a² + b².

The longest side of a right angle triangle is always directly across from the 90 degree angle is the hypotenuse. The other two sides are called as legs.

Students may have heard of the Pythagoras Theorem and the problems related to the theorem, but are uncertain about how to solve these kinds of problems or why they would be important in their everyday lives.

To start with, the student should understand that two lines intersect in a point, called a "vertex" and the circular span between the lines is called an angle.A 90 degree angle is the right angle.
