'Pythagorean' is the 'adjective for 'Pythagoras'.
{ythagoras was a Classical Greek mathematician who gave us the equation
h^2 = a^(2) + b^(2) .
In words, 'The square of the hypotenuse(h) is equal to the sum of the other two sides squared'.
NB This only applies to 'right-angled' triangles (trigons).

∙ 16y agohiya, well... the pythagorean triple comes from the mathmatician who sat in the sand on a beach drawing triangles with a stick,then one day it came to him that the smallest side of a triangle squared plus the middle length of the triangle squared = the longest side of a triangle squared ... he also made a general rule for this which is.. A squared + B squared = C squared eg. 3,4,5 its called pythagorean because the mans name was pythagoras.:) sorry about how long i answered its for people who are'nt sure what pythagorean is :)

Sets of Pythagorean triples?
3,4,5 1,2,3 these are sets of pythagorean triples
Converse of Pythagorean Theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem allows the mathematician to determine the value of the hypotenuse. The converse of the Pythagorean Theorem manipulates the formula so that the mathematician can use the values to determine that if the triangle is a right triangle.
What is the pythagorean principle?
The pythagorean principle is A squared + B squared = C squared. This is applyed when solving side lengths of triangles.
What is the form of the Pythagorean triple generator?
If p and q are integers, then a = p2 - q2 b = 2pq, and c = p2 + q2 form a Pythagorean triple. Furthermore, if p and q are co-prime then the triple is primitive Pythagorean.
What is the difference between the pythagorean theorem and the converse of the pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle with legs a and b and hypotenuse c, a2 + b2 = c2. The converse of the Pythagorean theorem states that, if in a triangle with sides a, b, c, a2 + b2 = c2 then the triangle is right and the angle opposite side c is a right angle.
What is the pythagorean theorem and where did it come from?
The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find side lengths of right triangles. It came from the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras.
How can you make a sentence with the word pythagorean?

What shape does the Pythagorean theorem use?
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
Pythagoras was best known for the pythagorean what?
Pythagoras was well known for the Pythagorean Theorem.
How many Pythagorean triples are there?
Since there are an infinite amount of whole numbers to make Pythagorean triples, there would be an infinite amount of Pythagorean triples to make.
What did Pythagoras do in his daily life?
In his Pythagorean Brotherhood , they would try to come up with new ways of doing maths all the time.
How do you find a pythagorean triple?
There are infinitely many Pythagorean triples. To find a Pythagorean triple take two positive integers x, y with x > y. A Pythagorean triple is of the form x2 - y2, 2xy, x2 + y2.
Are multiples of triples Pythagorean Triples?
No, the multiple of any random triple is not a Pythagorean triple.
