Answer:

● The pythagorian theorem

The pythagorian theorem is used to find a missing side of a right triangle.

It states that the square of the hypotenus of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides.

Let a be the hypotenus, b and c are the othet sides:

☆☆☆☆☆ a^2 = b^2 + c^2☆☆☆☆☆

There are more than 350 way to prove this theorem.
