Pythagorean Theorem
A theorem attributed to Pythagoras that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
right triangle
An angle that is 90 degrees (It makes a square in the corner).
converse of the pythagorean theorem
If the lengths of the three sides of a triangle satisfy the Pythagorean equation, then the triangle is a right triangle.
