Pythagorean theorem —: h² = b² + p², where h = hypotenuse, b = base, p = perpendicular.
ANSWER:
Pythagoras theorem consists of a formula a² + b² = c² which is used to figure out the value of (mostly) the hypotenuse in a right triangle. The a and b are the 2 "non-hypotenuse" sides of the triangle (Opposite and Adjacent).
