Consider the given below:
Consider the right triangle
So, by theorem 8-2,
Taking square root both sides,
Now consider the right triangle
So, by theorem 8-2,
Taking square root both sides,
This implies that,
Now, consider the triangle
Let the longest side of the triangle
Now,
Now find sum of the squares of other two sides
