The Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem is a theorem that calculates the hypotenuse of a triangle; the formula being a^2+b^2=c^2, c being the hypotenuse and a & b being the legs of the triangle.

This theorem contains exponential expression & square roots. An example or this theorem is 9^2+12^2=c^2. First we need to calculate 9^2 and 12^2, which is 81 and 144. Next, we add them, you should get 225. Lastly, √225=15, so c=15.
Person 1: 6^2+8^2=14^2

Person 2: Wrong, 6^2 and 8^2 is 36 and 64, 36+64=100, √100=10

Person 1: Now that makes sense! How'd you get that
