    The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. This fundamental relationship in geometry is named after the Greek thinker Pythagoras and has been proven numerous times using both geometric and algebraic proofs dating back thousands of years. The theorem can also be generalized to higher dimensions and non-Euclidean spaces beyond just right triangles.

    In 

    mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, or Pythagoras's theorem, is a fundamental relation


    in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square
    whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of
    the squares on the other two sides. This theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths
    of the sides a, b and c, often called the Pythagorean equation:[1]
    where c represents the length of the hypotenuse and a and b the lengths of the triangle's other
    two sides. The theorem, whose history is the subject of much debate, is named for
    the Greek thinker Pythagoras, born around 570 BC.
    The theorem has been proven numerous times by many different methods—possibly the most
    for any mathematical theorem. The proofs are diverse, including both geometric proofs and
    algebraic proofs, with some dating back thousands of years.
    The theorem can be generalized in various ways: to higher-dimensional spaces, to spaces that
    are not Euclidean, to objects that are not right triangles, and to objects that are not triangles at
    all but n-dimensional solids. The Pythagorean theorem has attracted interest outside
    mathematics as a symbol of mathematical abstruseness, mystique, or intellectual power;
    popular references in literature, plays, musicals, songs, stamps, and cartoons abound.
