The Pythagorean theorem states that a² + b² = c² for a right triangle with leg lengths, a and b, and hypotenuse length, c.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 5 units long and has the points (3, 0) and (0, 4) as end points. One of the legs has length 3.

Use the Point and Segment tools to draw a right triangle at demonstrates the other leg length is 4.
