Pythagorean Theorem Basics
Hypotenuse
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the largest side of the right triangle, and is always located across from the right angle.
The letter c is used to represent the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean Theorem Basics
Legs
The legs of a right triangle are the two shorter sides of the right triangle, and together form the right angle.
The letters a and b are used to represent the legs of the right triangle.

5
In the diagram to the right, the right triangle has side lengths of 3, 4 and 5.
The sum of the squares of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
Pythagorean Theorem
6
The three sides of any right triangle will make the pythagorean true.
Therefore we can use the pythagorean theorem to determine whether 3 side lengths will make a right triangle.
