Nobody knows the exact date. Pythagoras never wrote anything. Everything we know about him is from sources written after his death. He lived from about 570 to about 475 BC. He learned architecture, construction, and surveying (and a lot of other things) in Egypt, where he lived for about 20 years. Historians think that the construction technique of making a right angle by stretching a rope loop into a triangle whose sides are in a 3:4:5 ratio was known to the Egyptians and the Babylonians for at least a thousand years before Pythagoras. What Pythagoras did was to go from there to the much more powerful general theorem that if the measures of the sides of a triangle abc are such that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, then the triangle must be a right triangle and vice versa.

Who invented Pythagoras Theorem?
It is believed that the Pythagoras Theorem was invented by a greek named Pythagoras. The Theorem is said to be invented in 530 B.C . Researchers are of a view that the theorem must have been invented aeven before that. Pythagoras lived from 569 to 500 BC. Since the theorem is named after him, we believe to this day that he could be the inventor of it. He spent his time travelling to Egypt and learnt about mathematics much. The rudiments of the theory can also be found in a portion of a tablet from Babylonia dating to 1900 B.C.E., which is about 4,000 years old to date. So it is still a doubt to actually know whether he was the founder of it. Hope this helps.
