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
Can you use the Pythagoras theorem when squaring the corners of a building?
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.
Why did Pythagoras become famous?
Pythagoras became famous for proving that Pythagoras' theorem was correct, making other famous Greeks like Plato and Aristotle inspired to be a mathematician.
He didn't have a job. He was a mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher. He founded a Pythagorean School to teach others all that he had learned during his life, as he had traveled to many countries of the world becoming arguably the most educated person in the world at that time. Back then during 600-500 BC things worked much differently.
-Edit
Isn't teaching a job?
What was Pythagoras major maths discoveries?
One of the most greatest discoveries was the Pythagorean Theorem which is only taught in school explaining that the long side is equal to both shorter sides (a2+b2=c2). He also created his own religion called Pythagoreanisn which believes reincarnations which makes many people think they are Pythagoreans reincarnation.
There are no primary written documents of Pythagoras' life, but he was said to be born around 580 and 572 BC and died between 500 and 490 BC for unknown reasons.
What are the good points to the Pythagorean theorem?
Pythagorean theorem:
Usually revolves around the hypotenuse side of a triangle [The side opposite the right angle]. What you do is, You look at the length of all the sides.
If Side A [the hypotenuse] Is 8cm long, side B is 3 cm long and side C is 4 cm long. Then what you do is, use this rule.
A squared = B squared + c squared. Which basically means, get the lengths of the two sides that are NOt the hypotenuse. Square them. Add them together. Then square root your answer.
For example, the answer to: If Side A [the hypotenuse] Is 8cm long, side B is 3 cm long and side C is 4 cm long is:
8x8=64. 3x3=9. 64+9=53. Square route of 53 = 7.28 [rounded]
So basically, Square B and C, add them together, square root it to get the length of the hypotenuse
Who is the first person who discovered Pythagorean Theorem before Pythagoras?
Pythagoras IDIOT
Actually "The Chinese also knew this theorem. It is attributed to Tschou-Gun who lived in 1100 BC." Quoted from http://www.arcytech.org/java/Pythagoras/history.HTML

What did Pythagoras Contribute to history?
Pythagoras studied odd and even numbers, triangular numbers, and perfect numbers. Pythagoreans contributed to our understanding of angles, triangles, areas, proportion, polygons, and polyhedra
According to Pythagoras how could the world be understood?
the world cant be understood- for information the world depends entirly on youtube!
...WE SUCK!
What school did Pythagoras found?
A more better answer for people is that he went to pythagorean school and was taught by thales a greek philosipher
Who invented the Pythagoras theorem?
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.
How is Pythagoras work used today?
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)
