Pythagoras

5, 12, 13 and 6, 8, 10

# 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. Pythogoras 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 Daius 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 neighbouring 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 90. 8. Homosexuality was common in ancient Greece. Pythagoras probably initiated a sexual relationship with Abaris, his teacher in gratitude to the older man for teaching him the secrets of Scythian magic. 9. He believed that ones 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 Troja-war. 10.According to Pythagoras, a perfect number was 10.

Pythagorus discovered the theorem a2 + b2 = c2 via a math proof, though this is historically unclear according to Roger Penrose's book The Road to Reality.

Pythagoras was born in the country of Samos, but spent most of his formative years in Egypt.

Samos, Ionia, Greece.

hope it helps .....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................thank u

he died from an illness that is unknown, or old age

Pythagoras was a philosopher and mathematician. None of his writings survived, but he is known for discovering the Pythagorean theorem.

he was very smart

Most of europe and some of asia

Pythagoras was an ancient Greek famous for establishing what we call the "Pythagorean Theorem" (a squared + b squared = c squared)

He became a contribution because he was famous of math

hope this helps if not sorry

he was old when he got married, he was exiled, is first school as so few students enrolled it had to be shut down.

The Pythagoras theorem is used to find the longest side of a right angled triangle (2D form) or the longest diagonal that can fit in a cuboid (3D form). The 2D form is this:

If you have a right angled triangle then you call the longest side c and the shorter sides a and b. The Pythagoras theorem says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 .

eg. say you have a right angled triangle and the two short sides a 3 and 4 cm, then you know that as a^2 + b^2 = c^2, 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 so 9 + 16 = d^2 so 25 = d^2 and then you know that d, the longest side of the right anlged triangle, is 5 (the square root of 25)

The 3D form is that if you have a cuboid (rectangular prism) and you call the length a, the width b, the height c and the longest diagonal that can fit in the box d then a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = d^2

eg. say you have a cuboid with a length of 3 cm, a width of 4 cm and a height of 12 cm then you know that as a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = d^2, 3^2 + 4^2 + 12^2 = d^2 so 9 + 16 + 144 = d^2 so 169 = d^2 so 13 = d (13 is the square root of 169)

Hope this helped!

That Pythagoras was the son of Mnesarchus, may be safely affirmed on the authority ofHerodotus; that Samos, the Greek island in the eastern Aegean, was his birth-place, is affirmed by Isocrates.[7] His father was a Phoenician merchant from Tyre, his mother, Pythais, was apparently a native of Samos.

Consider a square with a slightly smaller square just inside, the smaller square being rotated so that the corners just touch the sides of the larger square. The four spaces between the two squares are four exactly equal right angled triangles. If we call the sides of these triangles h=hypotenuse, L=long side and s=short side then we see that the area of the small square is h squared and the area of the large square is (s +L) squared =s squared + L squared +2s x L. The area of the four triangle is (4 x s x L)/2

By simple arithmetic:- the area of the small square (h squared) = The area of the large square minus the area of the four triangles, h squared = s squared +L squared + 2s x L - (4/2 x s x L). The last two terms cancel each other out leaving h squared = s squared + L squared.

X2= Y2+Z2

X is the hypotenuse as it is the longest side.

Y and Z can be either of the sides.

Example:

X2=22+42

X2=4+16

X2=20

SQUARE ROOT 20

X= 4.47

X= 4.5

OR

62= Y2+42

36=Y2+16

36-16=Y2

Y2=20

SQUARE ROOT 20

Y=4.47

Y=4.5

he was about 48-49 years of age
