| − | The Pythagorean theorem is possibally the most well known mathematical theorem. It states that the by taking the square of the two legs and adding them together you will get the length of the [[hypotenuse]] squared. This is expressed mathematically as: <math>a^2 + b^2 = c^2</math> | + | The Pythagorean theorem is possibly the most well known mathematical theorem. It states that the by taking the square of each length of a right angled triangle and adding them together you will get the length of the [[hypotenuse]] squared. This is expressed mathematically as: |
