Pythagorean theorem.

• Given a right triangle ( a triangle with a right
  (or 90 degree) angle),the square of the length
  of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right
  angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the
  lengths of the two other sides.The normal way
  of seeing this is...A2 B2 C2.A
  triangle with sides of length 3ft, 4ft and 5ft is
  a right triangle because32 42 52(9 16
  25)It is used in a great many ways. You can
  measure the sides, and prove a triangle is a
  right triangle, or you can use the fact that a
  triangle is a right triangle to calculate one of
  the sides.
