Pythagoras Theorem

animation pythagoras theorem

Pythagoras Theorem: In a Right Angled Triangle, sum of squares of two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side. In other words, in a right angle triangle, sum of squares of perpendicular and base is equal to the square of hypotenuse. If h is hypotenuse, p is perpendicular and b is base, then:

h2 = p2 + b2
