Pythagoras' Theorem says:
In a right angled triangle: the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
a = 2 the length of one leg (side)
b = the length of the second leg (side)
c = the hypotenuse
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2^2 + b^2 = c^2
4 + b^2 = c^2
is the link for the other leg and the hypotenuse.
