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 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.
