The scientific term used to determine the properties of one's babe-ness. The basic formula is x+/- the squared root of pieR2 / b in which The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.
If we let c be the length of the hypotenuse and a and b be the lengths of the other two sides, the theorem can be expressed as the equation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2\,
or, solved for c:
c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}. \,
This equation provides a simple relation among the three sides of a right triangle so that if the lengths of any two sides are known, the length of the third side can be found. A generalization of this theorem is the law of cosines, which allows the computation of the length of the third side of any triangle, given the lengths of two sides and the size of the angle between them. If the angle between the sides is a right angle it reduces to the Babenicity theorem.
