 The square of the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. 3. In a right triangle the square of either leg is equal to the square of the hypotenuse minus the square of the other...  Plane and Solid Geometry - Page 195by Clara Avis Hart, Daniel D.
