Lyrics

Draw a triangle on the board today
Two sides meet in a right angle way
One more side across the space you see
That longest side is the hypotenuse, c

Measure the sides, let the numbers show
There's a rule every student should know
Math and patterns working with ease
It all comes back to a squared plus b squared equals c

A squared plus b squared equals c squared
That's the rule for triangles everywhere
Right angle corners, ninety degrees
A squared plus b squared equals c squared

Take the length of side a and square it up
Side b squared, now add them up
Find the square root and you will see
The hypotenuse is side c

Ancient math from long ago
Pythagoras was first to show
Across the triangle it appears
The longest side is always here

A squared plus b squared equals c squared
That's the rule for triangles everywhere
Right angle corners, ninety degrees
A squared plus b squared equals c squared

Building shapes, solving space
Geometry in every place
From the classroom to design
This little rule stands the test of time

A squared plus b squared equals c squared
That's the rule for triangles everywhere
Right angle corners, ninety degrees
A squared plus b squared equals c squared
