Drills
The squares on the two shorter sides sum to the square on the hypotenuse, which always faces the right angle.
Author note — to cover
a squared plus b squared equals c squared with c always opposite the right angle — G20 lists the formula among those to know — finding hypotenuses in 2D, answers as surds or rounded decimals, units consistent first. Shorter sides, coordinate distances, the converse and 3D each have sibling pages. Both tiers. (G20)
