Pythagoras

Nobody knows how many books were written by Pythagoras. All of his writings were believed to have been destroyed. Some such as Aristotle and Aristoxenus believed he never wrote anything.

Pythagoras is known or the... "Pythagorean theorem" or that.. The sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles The Pythagorean theorem Constructing figures of area Discovery of irrationals Five regular solids Earth is a sphere at the center of the universe (astronomy) Pythagoras Theorem The hypotenuse of a right triangle when squared is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

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.

no :0

In Samos, a part of Greece from approximately 580 to 500 BC.

hiya, well... he achieved that the pythagorean triple because he sat in the sand on a beach drawing triangles with a stick for years ,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

this thereom that he made helps our generation , it helps builders mechanics maths etc, but this thereom only works in right angle triangles, likes ,making shelfs and houses etc

No that answer is wrong...the real answer is the man who created A2+B2=C2 was a genius... he figured out that the smallest side and the medium side equals the hypotonous or the longest side. he created the triple which is side a =3, side b=4 and the hypotonous = 5 there are many more but are very hi numbers...also he created a theorem called the chese theorem which is a+B+c+d

yes it help major big time. You need a chain or rope 12 metre long marked in metres. Lay on ground to form a triangle with one side 3 , one side 4 and one side 5 metres. The angle between the 3 and 4 metre lengths is exactly 90 degrees.

Theano

he dicovered it in greece

Pythagoras studied odd and even numbers, triangular numbers, and perfect numbers. Pythagoreans contributed to our understanding of angles, triangles, areas, proportion, polygons, and polyhedra

the world cant be understood- for information the world depends entirly on youtube!

...WE SUCK!

A more better answer for people is that he went to pythagorean school and was taught by thales a greek philosipher

Actually it was named after Pythagoras but the pythogreans named it after him.

He discovered how to find the length of the missing side of a right triangle, so if there was a 5 cm line and a 4 cm line he could tell the length of the other line on a triangle. The answer to the 5 cm by 4 cm would be 3 cm. That is his famous 5, 4, 3 triangle.

The formula for it is A squared plus B squared equals C squared.

He was simply known as Pythagoras of Samos.

It is used mainly in architectural designing and most forms of work that use measurements, such as carpenters (right angle triangle is used i many cases as that is what society has become of these days. Modern, neat architecture)

You can't. You need 2 sides.

1. Some think that Pythagoras actually stole his famous formula from the Babylonians (who had stolen it from the Indians).

2. He discovered square roots by comparing square piles of rocks and figured out the proportional interval of numbers between musical notes by listening to blacksmiths pounding on different sized anvils.

3. Pythagoras also started a weird religious commune with secretive doctrines involving geometric formulations. One of his inner circle of mathematikoi, Hippasos, came up with the concept of irrational numbers but it didn't fit well with Pythagoras' unique theology and it is said that he was executed on the master's orders.

4. Like some modern day vegans, Pythagoras believed that eating animal products was cannibalism because they might contain the trans-migrated souls of human ancestors.

5. The cult also refused to eat beans. Some historians think it is because they believed that a man only had so much "breath" in him and that any extra-curricular passing of gases shortened the lifespan. Others think it was because the beans were considered sacred in some way, perhaps because they were thought of as reincarnated people (human beans, in other words). One of the order was slaughtered by an angry mob who caught him when he refused to escape by crossing through a bean field for fear of trampling the delicate vegetables.

6. Pythagoras traveled far from his hometown of Samos and on one journey to Egypt was captured by the Persian army. He was taken as a prisoner to Babylon where he became the guest of Darius the Great. Interestingly, he spent much of his time visiting with the resident scholars, the Magi, around the time that Daniel (of the bible) was said to have been there. We'll never know if the two exchanged ideas and how much influence one had on the other.

7. His commune near Croton, Italy was eventually wiped out by a violent mob from the neighboring town after a political dispute. Pythagoras, however, was not present at the time and lived out his life in safety and peace. He died at the ripe old age of 75.

8. He believed that one's soul was going to be reincarnated. That is also what the Hindu religion tells as the truth. Pythagoras himself said that he had once before lived as a warrior in the Trojan war.

9. According to Pythagoras, a perfect number was 10.

Pythagoras' Theorem is a statement proving that in a right angled triangle the square of the longest side (the hypotenuse) equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

The formula for this is: A squared + B squared = C squared. C represents the hypotenuse on this formula, while A and B represent the other two perpendicular sides.

Exercise:Use squared paper & draw a triangle in the center of the page. Make the short sides of length 6 cm & 8 cm. Draw a square on each side. Measure the area of each square: hint 6 x 6 = 36 and so on. Having found the areas, add the areas of the squares on the two shorter sides. Compare your answer with the area of the square on the longest side. What do you notice? Repeat this for more triangles and see if you can see a pattern.

(The use of upper case for vertices and lower case for the actual sides of a triangle is prevalent. So we write triangle ABC having sides of length a, b, c.)

Egypt is where he was educated and grew up to be a man.

Pythagoras was married one time to a woman named Theano.

the pythagorean theorem

i would just like to say that he did not discover that, it was found in 800 B.C

Egypt. Babylon. Iran.

He contributed the Pythagorean Theorem.
