If a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the longest leg and the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the third side.
If a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
If all angles in a triangle are of equal
• measure, then the length of all sides will be equal.
If the interior angles of a triangle add
• up to 180°.
, then the sum of the legs
of the triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

The correct statement that explains the Pythagorean Theorem is:
"If a triangle is a right triangle, then the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse."
In mathematical terms, this can be expressed as \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \), where \( c \) is the length of the hypotenuse and \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the other two legs of the triangle.
