The Pythagoras Theorem means (a)squared plus (b)squared = (c)squared.
It works with a right angled triangle.
The question for this is usually a tree which has fallen down.
For example a was 3cm and b was 4cm. C would be 5cm.
(3x3)+(4x4)=25
=5x5
a + c is the whole tree. When c falls off, what is the distance from the stump?
Try drawing this in a book (make sure it is a right angled triangle).
