~ pythagorean Theorem ~

In my opinion I believe that Pythagorean theorem are related to solving equation. I believe that because they both have unknown variable that you need to find the value for. I also think that they are related because you are taking some of the steps that you use to solve equal to help you solve for Pythagorean theorem. For example, lets say that you are trying to find the value of a in the problem as followed 4a-8=12..so what you are going to do is add 8 to both of the equal sign.. Afterwards, you are going to divide by 4 to each side because now you want a and the value of a....... Its like doing the same thing when you are doing Pythagorean theorem...... here is an example for solving Pythagorean theorem 6^2+b^2=10^2...... in order to find what the value of b^2 is. The first thing that you have to do is find the square of 10 and 6. second thing you have to do is subtract the the square of 6 which is 36 by both sides..... After that you are going to find the square root of the answer 64=b^2. Then your answer is going to be 8...... To me that is almost the same steps that you have to take to solve the problems............ So I think that Pythagorean theorem is related to solving equations
