Pythagoras theorem helps to find out the missing side of a right angled triangle.
It can also determine whether the triangle is acute, obtuse or right angled triangle.
h2=p2+b2
h=hypotenuse the longest side of a triangle.
p= perpendicular that makes a right angle/opposite to the missing angle.
b= base opposite to hypotenuse
If h2=p2+b2 it`s a right angled triangle.If h2>p2+b2 it`s an obtuse angled triangle. If h22+b2 It`s an acute angled triangle.
