$\sin^2{\theta}+\cos^2{\theta} \,=\, 1$
The sum of the squares of sine and cosine functions at an angle equals to one is called the Pythagorean identity of sine and cosine functions.
The sine and cosine are two functions in trigonometry. They have a direct relationship between them in square form but it represents the Pythagorean theorem. Hence, the relationship between sine and cosine functions in square form is called the Pythagorean identity of sine and cosine functions.
The sum of them is equal to one and it is called the Pythagorean identity of sine and cosine functions.
$\sin^2{\theta}+\cos^2{\theta} \,=\, 1$
The Pythagorean identity of sine and cosine functions is also written popularly in two other forms.
Remember, the angle of right triangle can be denoted by any symbol but the relation between sine and cosine functions should be expressed in that symbol.
