Answer provided by our tutors

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.
