Kathetscatheti

Kathetscatheti, also known as the legs of a right-angled triangle, are the two sides that form the right angle. In a right-angled triangle, one angle is always 90 degrees, and the sides adjacent to this angle are called the kathetscatheti. The side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse. The relationship between the kathetscatheti and the hypotenuse is described by the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the kathetscatheti. This theorem is expressed as: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where 'a' and 'b' are the kathetscatheti, and 'c' is the hypotenuse. The kathetscatheti play a crucial role in various mathematical and practical applications, including construction, navigation, and engineering.
