Cosine law formula is:

\(a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2} - 2*b*c*cos(A)\)

where A is an angle opposite from side a.
If angle a is 90 degrees that means that cos(90) is 0 which leaves us with
\(a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2}\)

This is Pythagoras theorem where a is the hypothesis and b and c are smaller sides of triangle
