use the Pythagorean theorem to give an equation that is true for the given triangle.
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse(h) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides(a and b). Therefore, the equation that represents the Pythagorean theorem for a right triangle is:
a^2 + b^2 = h^2
