The Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2 = c^2 which can be written as [tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]
The longest side (c) is always on its own side. This says "the squares of 'a' and 'b' add up to the square of 'c' "

Answer:
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs of a right angle triangle measure 'a' and 'b'
Hypotenuse of the triangle measures 'c'
Pythagorean theorem states that square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of each leg
sum of the squares of each leg is [tex]a^2+b^2[/tex]
This is equal to the square of the hypotenuse c^2
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex] is the Pythagorean theorem
