*will give brainliest* how does pythagorean theorem work? **i’m not asking what the formula is. i’m asking how a squared + b squared is equal to c squared.**

Basically each side of the triangle represents a square on each which then makes the hypotenuse the largest square. Now, the area of a square is formulated by (1 side)² . Pythagorean theorem says that the area of the largest square is the sum of the 2 smaller square which is why the formula is a² + b² = c².

Hold on lemme do the work
