Introduction:-

The Pythagorean Theorem was discovered around 2000 years ago and states that in a right angle triangle, if squares are made on all three of the sides, then the area of the largest square is going to be exactly equal to the area of the smaller squares if combined.

Explanation:-

The Pythagorean Theorem can also be written in the form of a simple equation. The three sides of the triangle are named as the hypotenuse, perpendicular, and base. To put it simply, this Theorum states that the square of the hypotenuse is going to be exactly equal to the sum of the squares of the perpendicular and base since hypotenuse is the largest side of the triangle.

The Pythagorean Theorem is extremely useful since it enables us to find the length of the third side of a triangle provided that the first two sides’ lengths are already given. However, it is to be kept in mind at all times that the Theorem is not going to be applicable on anything other than a right angle triangle.

It has been a while that the Pythagorean Theorem has been around and it has always been the basis of the fundamental mathematics specifically when it comes to algebra. It won’t be wrong to state that any subject or line of work that is even vaguely associated to the mathematics, which may include and are not confined to the physics, chemistry, statistics, etc. are going to make an extensive use of the popular Pythagorean Theorem.

It is interesting to know that the Pythagorean Theorem can also be viewed the other way around. For instance, it can be taken for granted that if the triangle happens to follow the equation of a^2 + b^2 = c^2, then it is certainly a right angle triangle.
