Talk about a clumsy definition?
Pythagoras discovery that the sum of the areas of two squares on the sides of two triangle will add up to the area of a square on hypotenuseiscovery that the sum of the areas of two squares on the sides of two triangle will add up to the area of a square on hypotenuse...”
My tenth grade teacher:
Pythagoras’ theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Wait... maybe this a common core math!
