What is Pythagoras' Theorem?

If ABC is a triangle with AC as the hypotenuse and angle B with 90 degrees then we have:

|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2    

where |AB| = length of line segment AB. (AB and BC are rest of the two sides of that triangle ABC, AC being the hypotenuse).

You start driving east for 5 miles, turn left, and drive north for another 12 miles. At the end of driving,

$|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2 \\\\|AC|^2 = |5|^2 + |12|^2 \\ \\|AC|^2 = 25 + 144 \\\\AC = \sqrt{169} \\\\AC = 13$
