Pythagorean Theorem have angles to be involved in with it.
:
The only angle it is concerned with, is that one angle is a right angle
The Pythagorean Theorem applies only to right angle triangles
a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where
a is one leg of the triangle
b = the other leg
and
c = the hypotenuse, the side opposite the right angle and the longest side
