The following may also help you remember the Pythagoras' theorem formula.

Take the Squares example A square plus B square is C square

The sum of the squares A+B are exactly the same size as square C

A plus B squared is C squared

The following diagram shows this more explicitly.

Only right angle triangles can be used in the three four and five triangle method

a2+b2=c2

Proved by

3×3 + 4×4 = 5×5
9 + 16 = 25
    25 = 25

They call this a three, four, five triangle and it only works with right angled triangles.
