Everything About Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagorean Theorem is applied to right triangles. Each right triangle has two legs always A² and B². The diagonal line is called the hypotenuse and is C². The formula to find the hypotenuse is A² + B² = C². Sometimes you have to solve for the legs; in that case, you would do the formula C² - A² = B². But how do we know what legs are A and which ones are B!?!?!?!?!

Don't worry it doesn't matter which one is which as long as C is the hypotenuse.
