The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
According to the Pythagorean theorem, for a right triangle the length of the __________ squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared.
