In a right angle triangle, the square on the hypotenuse (side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides (those sides adajacent to the right angle)
If you state the problem you are talking about we may be able to help. At the moment it is like trying to find the corner in a round room, if you know what I mean.

a squared + b squared = c squared. if i remember right, looking for Pythagoras is working the problem backwards to prove why the Pytagoreian Theorm works.

If you would have quoted the problem in full ,it would have been better.However,it may safely be assumed that the words"on looking for Pythagoras" implies that following the famous Pythagoras theorem you have to solve the problem.

I'd assume you need to use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 = b^2 + c^2
a: hypotenuse

Hai. a-squared + b-squared=root of c-squared
