Well did you know that the pythagoream formula is actaully a special case of a more general formula?

Namely this one: C^2 = A^2 + B^2 - 2AB cos(c) Can you name that equation?

Basically, You have 3 sides of the triangle and the 2 short sides lengths added together will equal the longest sides length like a+b=c
