Answer:

Pythagorean theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for a triangle if we know two sides and the included angle, the third side can be found out using cosine formula

[tex]a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc cos A[/tex]

For a right angle triangle right angled at A this becomes

[tex]a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc cos A\\=b^2+c^2-2bc cos 90\\=b^2+c^2-0\\=b^2+c^2[/tex]

This is nothing but Pythagorean theorem
