What is the formula for the Pythagoras Theorem?

• a^2 / b^2 = c^2

• a^2 * b^2 = c^2

• a^2 + b^2 = c^2

• a^2 - b^2 = c^2

If one side of the triangle is 8 and the hypotenuse is 10, what is the initial equation to find the other side?

• x^2 + 64 = 100

• x^2 + 100 = 64

• x^2 + 10 = 8

• x^2 + 8 = 10
