m^2+n^2=?????

1 answer

Based on the Pythagorean Theorem, the relationship between the sides of a right triangle is that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (in this case, side m) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (in this case, sides n and o).

So, in this triangle, the relationship would be m^2 = n^2 + o^2.
