The Pythagorean Theorem Explained: A Deep Dive

The Pythagorean Theorem is a cornerstone of geometry, stating that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This is famously written as a² + b² = c².

Applications

This theorem is not just for classrooms. It's used in construction, navigation, and computer graphics to calculate distances and angles with precision.
