The sum of the squares of the two short sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the long side. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

You know, oddly enough, my old ass math deficient brain recognizes the explanation and its application, but not the name or expression. Props to my educators, I might not know all the details, but I can still utilize the principles.
