勾股定理是欧几里得几何中直角三角形三边之间的基本关系。它指出,边为斜边(直角对边)的正方形的面积等于其他两条边上的正方形面积之和。该公式表示为 [latex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/latex]。

While the theorem is named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, evidence suggests that the relationship was known to earlier civilizations, including the Babylonians and Egyptians, who used it for practical purposes like surveying and construction. However, the Pythagoreans are credited with the first formal proof of the theorem, elevating it from a practical observation to a mathematical certainty within a deductive system. There are hundreds of known proofs for the theorem, some geometric and some algebraic, demonstrating its deep and multifaceted nature.
The theorem is a special case of the more general law of cosines, [latex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2ab\cos(\gamma)[/latex], which relates the lengths of the sides of any triangle. When the angle [latex]\gamma[/latex] is a right angle (90 degrees or [latex]\pi/2[/latex] radians), its cosine is 0, and the formula simplifies to the Pythagorean theorem. The theorem also defines the Euclidean distance between two points in a Cartesian coordinate system. If two points have coordinates [latex](x_1, y_1)[/latex] and [latex](x_2, y_2)[/latex], the distance [latex]d[/latex] between them is given by [latex]d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}[/latex], which is a direct application of the theorem.
