The Pythagorean Theorem, a² + b² = c², applies to right-angled triangles, where c represents the hypotenuse (longest side) and a, b are the legs. For instance, if a = 3 cm and b = 4 cm, c = √(3² + 4²) = √25 = 5 cm. This theorem underlies trigonometry, enabling distance calculations in navigation, construction, and design. From verifying corners in building layouts to analyzing diagonal distances on a computer screen, Pythagoras’s principle is indispensable in geometry and everyday spatial reasoning.
