The '''Pythagorean theorem''' is possibly the most well known mathematical theorem. It states that squaring the lengths of the two smaller sides of a [[right triangle]] and adding them together will get the length of the [[hypotenuse]] squared. This is expressed mathematically as:   

The '''Pythagorean theorem''' is possibly the most well known mathematical theorem. It states that squaring the lengths of the two smaller sides of a [[right triangle]] and adding them together will get the length of the [[hypotenuse]] squared. This is expressed mathematically as:   

<math>a^2+b^2=c^2</math>

<math>a^2+b^2=c^2</math> or, <math>c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}</math>

The Pythagorean Theorem was developed by the [[Greece|Greek]] mathematician [[Pythagoras]]. The theorem describes a mathematical relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangle which can be illustrated as follows:
