Pythagoras

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.

He was simply known as Pythagoras of Samos.

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)

You can't. You need 2 sides.

1. 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. Pythagoras 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 Darius 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 neighboring 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 75.

8. He believed that one's 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 Trojan war.

9. According to Pythagoras, a perfect number was 10.

Pythagoras' Theorem is a statement proving that in a right angled triangle the square of the longest side (the hypotenuse) equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

The formula for this is: A squared + B squared = C squared. C represents the hypotenuse on this formula, while A and B represent the other two perpendicular sides.

Exercise:Use squared paper & draw a triangle in the center of the page. Make the short sides of length 6 cm & 8 cm. Draw a square on each side. Measure the area of each square: hint 6 x 6 = 36 and so on. Having found the areas, add the areas of the squares on the two shorter sides. Compare your answer with the area of the square on the longest side. What do you notice? Repeat this for more triangles and see if you can see a pattern.

(The use of upper case for vertices and lower case for the actual sides of a triangle is prevalent. So we write triangle ABC having sides of length a, b, c.)

Egypt is where he was educated and grew up to be a man.

Pythagoras was married one time to a woman named Theano.

the pythagorean theorem

i would just like to say that he did not discover that, it was found in 800 B.C

Egypt. Babylon. Iran.

He contributed the Pythagorean Theorem.

geometry

he played the lyre

c. 570 - c. 495 BC)

475 B.C !

LL , La , HL and Ha

no he only worked by himself because when it came to credit and apluading he thought he was the only one who should deserve it.

No but there r the Pythagoras theorem or the religious movement Pythagoreanism

Yes there is, where Pythagoras was born, Island of Samos, was changed to Pythagoreon

Bob

Yes

Pythagoras was born around 575 b.c., the exact date is not known.

If I recall it correctly Pythagoras found the when dealing with right angle triangles, the square on the hypotenuse equaled the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

Pythagoras got married in Samos, Greece, to a very young woman called Theano and had five children together.

Theory_of_BPT_theorem

The Pythagoras method or theorem is a statement that concludes the area of two small squares is equal to the area of one large one. The algebraic formula is a² + b²=c². C is the hypotenuse or base while a and b are the two lengths of the triangle. In geometry, it is the basis for the definition of the distance between two points.
