Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem, named after a Greek mathematician, Pythagoras, who was
the leader of a small group of mathematicians who devoted themselves to studying
numbers. The Pythagorean theorem is a straightforward theorem to learn, and the
theorem can be applied to almost all cases of trigonometry. Unlike the other theorems,
the Pythagorean theorem is quite simple to learn and understand. The theorem states
that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the
perpendicular and base of the triangle.
Mathematically,
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Perpendicular)2 + (Base)2
