How do u do the Pythagorean theorem

Answer: The Pythagorean theorem states that square the hypotenuses side is equal to the square adjacent side minus the square opposite side.

The idea of the Pythagorean Theorem is that, when you have a right triangle, a squared + b squared = c squared.

a and b are your two base sides, while c is your hypotenuse, or longest side.

An easy example of this is a 3-4-5 triangle. So if you have a right triangle, and one of the base sides is 3, with the other base being 4, and the longest side being 5.

Test it:

3 squared is 9

4 squared is 16

9+16=25

And 25=5 squared.
