The Right Triangle

!heright triangleis one o# the most important geometrical #igures% used in manyapplications #or thousands o# years

A 9ree& mathematician named ythagoras deeloped a #ormula% called theythagorean !heorem% #or #inding the lengths o# the sides o# any right triangle :e

treated each side o# a right triangle as though it *ere a s$uare and discoered thatthe total area o# the t*o smaller s$uares is e$ual to the area o# the largest s$uare

:e *rote this discoery as a #ormula7

*here c is the hypotenuseand a and b are the other t*o legso# the triangle ;oe
