Pythagorean theorem is a theorem or a rule that was developed by Pythagoras, and it is the fundamental equation that is is used in Eucledian Geometry among the 3 sides of a right triangle. The theorem states the length of the longest side or the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the sums of the two other sides. This can be represented in the mathematical formula for Pythagorean theorem:

c^2  = a^2 + b^2

Hence, if we are given the hypotenuse and one side, then we can transpose and solve for the length of the other side by basing the formula from the Pythagorean Theorem.
