The Pythagorean Theorem is attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. However, it is possible that the theorem was known to the Babylonians and Indians before Pythagoras. The theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. Mathematically, it can be expressed as ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ), where ( a ) and ( b ) are the lengths of the legs of the triangle and ( c ) is the length of the hypotenuse.
