Detailed explanation-1: -The Pythagorean Theorem describes the relationship among the three sides of a right triangle. In any right triangle, the sum of the areas of the squares formed on the legs of the triangle equals the area of the square formed on the hypotenuse: a2 + b2 = c2.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pythagoras, for whom the theorem is named, lived in ancient Greece, 2500 years ago. It is believed that he learned the theorem during his studies in Egypt. The Egyptians probably knew of the relationship for a thousand years before Pythagoras.

Detailed explanation-3: -Derivation of the Pythagorean Theorem Formula Let us consider a square of length (a+b). Each side of the square is divided into two parts of length a and b. Now, combining these four points on each side of the square will make another square of side let us take c. Hence it is the Pythagorean Theorem.
