How did Pythagoras believe the world could be best understood?
by the same principles inherent in mathematical thinking
Why was Pythagoras known as the father of numbers?
Pythagoras is called the father of numbers because he discovered the Pythagoras theoram.
Did Pythagoras discover the earth is round?
Although nobody knows for sure who first made the discovery that the earth is round, Pythagoras is indeed regarded as being the first recorded person to make the claim that the earth is round.
Did Pythagoras only eat beans?
Pythagoras and his followers would not eat beans as they would only eat "pure food" and beans did not fall under this category.
What is the hypotenuse leg therom?
If two right triangles have the hypotenuse and leg of one equal respectively
to the hypotenuse and leg of the other, then the triangles are congruent.
Does 1 plus 1 using the Pythagoras' Theorem equal 2?
The Pythagerum Thyrum doesn't say anything about adding numbers.
It tells how the lengths of the sides of a right triangle are related.
According to the thyrum, 1, 1, and 2 can't be the lengths of the sides
of a right triangle, because
(1)2 + (1)2 is not equal to (2)2 .
Pythagoras was best known for the pythagorean what?
Pythagoras was well known for the Pythagorean Theorem.
its the therom that states that a2+b2=c2 :). it is used for triangles. i dont know about other shapes. but is for triangles
What did Pythagoras's parents do?
they went around eating news papers for money at a comedy festival and his mum
went crazy one time and stabbed herself
Was Pythagoras of samos gay yes or no?
Pythagoras never commented on his sexuality, and it has no bearing on his contributions to the study of mathematics.
What were the acoustical experiments of Pythagoras and what were the results of those experiments?

How do you find the missing length of a triangle using Pythagoras?
The length of side A squared plus the length of side B sqaured equals the missing side of the triangle squared. So i.e. if side A is 4 and side B is 3 then 4x4 which is 16 plus 3x3 which is 9 equals 25 and the square root of 25 equals 5. So in conclusion the missing side equals 5.
How did Pythagoras discover Venus's?
He didn't discover Venus. Venus is one of the brightest objects in the sky (after the sun and moon), so it's been observed ever since cave men looked up.
How are Pythagoras' theorem and Fermat's last theorem related?
Pythagoras' theorem proves that if you draw a square on the longest side (the hypotenuse) of a right-angled triangle, its area is the same as the areas of the squares drawn on the two shorter sides, added together. See 'Pythagoras' theorem' under 'Sources and related links' below.
Pythagoras' theorem holds for any right-angled triangle. But of special interest to Fermat were right-angled triangles where all the three sides were whole number lengths. These special lengths are known as Pythagorean triples.
Here are some Pythagorean triples:-
(3,4,5) (5, 12, 13) (7, 24, 25) (8, 15, 17)
In each case, the square of each of the smaller numbers is equal to the square of the largest number.
Fermat said that if instead of constructing squares (two dimensional figures) on the sides of right-angled triangles, you constructed cubes (three dimensional analogs of squares), or hypercubes (four dimensional analogs) or higher dimensional cube-analogs, there are no equivalents to the Pythagorean triples. In other words, there are no whole number values for 3, 4 or more dimensional analogs of the square.
