Mathematicians
Often, to completely understand the importance of a mathematical theory, it's essential to know about the person who developed it. This category is where all questions about historically significant mathematicians should be asked.

How do you solve 3sqr root of 80 x6y5?
The browser used for posting questions on this site is rubbish. It is quite useless for mathematics since it strips out most symbols so that we cannot tell what the question is meant to be. We could try to guess but in some cases that is not possible and then we may as well make up our own questions and answer them!
Furthermore, this appears to be one expression (or equation) with two variables. In general that does not provide sufficient information for it to be solved.
How much capacity is nine inch?
None.
An inch is a measure of length or distance while capacity needs to be measured in terms of a cubic measure. According to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
For example, there will be a huge difference between the amount of water in a nine-inch high micro-tube or a field that is flooded to a depth of nine-inches!
Are there any important dates in Pythagoras' life?
yes, around 538 B.C. he moved to Croton in southern Italy and started a school for his group of followers. He was born around 575 B.C. on the island of Samos in Greece. And he died around 495 B.C
Because we know so little about this time period we do not know the exact date of his birth and death.
Name three mathematician that has something to do with geometry?
Pythagoras, Isaac Newton (Calculus, I know, but I'm not sure), and Constantine (I think)
How did Rene Descartes use the parabola?
Descartes used the parabola to illustrate algebraic equations. He put these equations on a visible plane using the Cartesian coordinate system and they sometimes took the shape of a "u" curve, or a parabola.
What is René Descartes' contribution to algebra?
Rene Descartes initiated the process in which algebra is thought upon. His major contribution was making me have to do this pointless essay.
Did Archimedes discover perimeter?
No. The answer to this multiple-choice question is that he discovered "displacement", famously seeing water spill out of his filled bathtub when he got into it. ("Eureka!")
What did Copernicus do that made him famous?
Copernicus was famous for his great astronomy work and his life inventions. in University he studied Mathematics, Latin, Astronomy, Geography and Philosophy! His was very smart and used it to his advantage!
