What was the famous theorem named for Pythagoras?
The Pythagorean Theorem defines the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle in terms of the other two sides (the square of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the two sides).
The formula is a2 + b2 = c2 where a and b are the shorter two sides and c is the longest side, or hypotenuse, which is opposite the right angle.
What are three important things Pythagoras did?
Although he is mainly known for hi Pythagoras theorem, his main contribution are the discovery of gunpowder, soon furnishing this int the first musket. although back then it never caught on in the 1600s we found his designs and used them. Also he invented glass in his dicoveries into art and design. And another thing he did was actually discover the shape 'triangle'
What branches of Math did Pythagoras study?
Pythagoras, a Greek mathematician, invented the Pythagorean Theorem, which is that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the right angle. The equation is a2+b2=c2.
What is Pythagoras well known for in your mathematics books?
The 'Pythagorean Theorems. eg:-
"The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides."
What does the maths term Pythagoras mean?
1) A famous mathematician.
2) The word is often used for the relationship a2 + b2 = c2. This applies to a right triangle, assuming "c" is the longest side (the side opposite the right angle).
What family did Pythagoras have?
mom. dad died.
two full brothers, one half brother.
one sister.
mom remarried
How do work out Pythagoras theorem?
A = Short side
B = medium side
C = Long side
(A x A) +(B x B) =(C x C)
(2x2) +(5x5)= (5.39x5.39)
4+25=29
the square root of 29 is 5.39
That's the Pythagoras theorem

-- Concepts of length and area.
-- Ability to add numbers and square numbers.
Why was Pythagoras reffered to as the Pythagoras of samos?
