This identity only holds true for a right triangle drawn on a flat ([[Euclid|Euclidean]]) plane
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:
