The Pythagorian theorium tells the legnth of the third side of the
triangle when given the two other two sides. The theorium states that
that adding the squares of the two known sides, you will get the square
of the third side, which may be taken the square root from to tell the
correct legnth of it.

Equation (Uses a*a because there are no superscripts in notepad):
(c*c)=(a*a)+(b*b)


Diagram (not drawn in correct proportions):
/|
side C=???-->/ |
/ | <--side B=4
/___|
side^A=5
(c*c)=(a*a)+(b*b)
(c*c)=(5*5)+(4*4)
(c*c)=25+16
(c*c)=41
The square-root of 41 is -about- 6.4, which means:
side C=6.4

*Confused*
