What is the name of the theorem that states that the sum of the squares of two sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse?

  1. Pythagorean Theorem

  2. Euclidean Theorem

  3. Bhaskara's Theorem

  4. Brahmagupta's Theorem


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a well-known theorem in geometry that relates the sides of a right triangle. It states that the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
