Pythagoras'+Theorem

Years ago, a man named Pythagoras found an amazing fact about triangles:
 * __ Pythagoras' Theorem __**
 * // If the triangle had a right angle (90°) ... //**
 * // ... and you made a square on each of the three sides, then ... //**
 * // ... the biggest square had the exact same area as the other two squares put together! //**



The longest side of the triangle is called the "**hypotenuse**", so the formal definition is: **In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. **
 * Definition **

So, the square of a (a²) plus the square of b (b²) is equal to the square of c (c²): a2 + b2 = c2 || Let's see if it really works using an example. A "3,4,5" triangle has a right angle in it, so the formula should work.

 * Sure ... ? **

Let's check if the areas **are** the same: 32 + 42 = 52 Calculating this becomes: 9 + 16 = 25 // Yes, it works ! // ||
