Legs of a right triangle The two sides that form the right angle Pythagorean theorem If a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse. THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM Words If a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse. Algebra a 2 1 b 2 5 c 2 a b c Example 1 The lengths of the legs of a right triangle are a 5 8 and b Find c. c 2 5 a 2 1 b 2 Pythagorean theorem c Substitute 8 for a and 15 for b. c Simplify. c 5 17 Take positive square root of each side.
