If a triangle is a RIGHT TRIANGLE, then a2 + b2 = c2. Pythagorean Theorem In a RIGHT TRIANGLE, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse. In other words … If a triangle is a RIGHT TRIANGLE, then a2 + b2 = c2. Proof that the formula works! 1. Find the length of the missing leg. 9ft 15ft x
