The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2
620.01^2+10,779.12=c^2
square root of 116,573,840.374=c^2
c^2=10,796.9366199

Dear sender,
your posting is wrong.

The sides of a triangle NEVER measures in square kilometers.

They are linear elements, and their measurement units are units of length (meters, kilometers, millimeters, centimeters and so on . . . ).
