Pythagorean Theorum
The Pythagorean equation relates the sides of a right triangle. If the lengths of any two sides are known the length of the third side can be found. If the angle between the other sides is a right angle, the law of cosines reduces to the Pythagorean equation. His theorem was the platform for algebraic reasoning and remains one of the most proven theories today. -
