What are more accomplishments Pythagoras completed?
Pythagoras created the Pythagorean theorem which deals with the 3 sides of a triangle (a2+b2=c2). It says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the other two sides of the trinangle.
Pythagoras established a people in southeastern Italy called the Pythagoreans and their motto is "All is number".
Why do you need the Pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle (the side opposite the right angle) when you are given the two legs of the triangle (the other two sides). It becomes very important and crucial to math in trigonometry and later levels of math.
Why did pythagoras get interested in mathematics?
He was interested in math when he knew there were many problems about the world. He was influenced by Thales and many more people.
Can you explain the Pythagoras theorem?
The theorem is a2+b2=c2
To explain, the legs of a triangle are labeled with a and b, but it doesn't matter which leg is labeled with which letter. The hypotenuse is always labeled with c.
The theorem is that the sum of the two leg lengths squared is the square of the hypotenuse.
Can you prove Pythagoras theorem using 3 Dimensional shapes?
No, you cannot. Would you be please in hearing the elaboration to this very fine statement? Because you sir, have the IQ of a philodendron. To add to this established and entirely correct point, I am a frilly unicorn with orange suspenders and I'm not afraid to say it.
Thank you for your time and co-operation.
Good-day.

How do you make a working model on Pythagoras theorem?
You can draw it on paper. Not sure what you mean with "working model": this is not about a physical device. Pythagoras' Theorem is about one specific type of calculatoin.
How do you calculate Pythagoras theorem?
The theorem uses a side called the "hypotenuse" this is the longest side of any triangle. The formula is x= nn + mm (x is the hypotenuse and n and m are the other sides)
Lets say the sides were 3 and 4.
x = 3x3 + 4x4
x = 9 + 16
x = 25. This is NOT the finished result, as we still have to SQUARE ROOT this. 25 square rooted is 5. So the sides are 3, 4 and 5
What is Pythagoras social security number?
Social Security numbers were first issued by the Social Security Administration in November 1935, more than 2400 years after Pythagoras died.
What plus 12 squared equals what according to pythagoras' theorum?
If 12 is a hypoteneuse then a^2+b^2=12^2.
If 12 is a leg then 12^2+b^2=c^2.
You cannot find any of the variables without more information.
Who owns the American Chicle Company?
The American Chicle Company is owned by the Warner-Lambert Company
What century was Pythagoras born in?
Pythagoras (also called Pythagoras of Samos) was born in the sixth century B.C., living from approximately 570 - 495 B.C.
What is the function of-the Pythagoras Theorem?
The Pythagoras Theorem is-a mathematical equation that measures the area belonging to-a triangle.
What does the formula for Pythagoras Theorem mean?
It means there is a fixed relationship between the three sides of a right angled triangle. If you know the length of two of the sides then the third can be calculated.
It has other implications in geometry and trigonometry also.
Give a short note on aryabhatta?
ARYABHATTA, or, as written by the Arabs, ARJABAHR, a celebrated Hindu mathematician, and the earliest known author on Algebra, is now generally believed to have lived about the beginning of our era. Nothing, however, has yet appeared that can give us the slightest information as to the place of his birth, or the time when he lived; nor is there, as far as we know, any tradition or record extent from which we can collect any of the circumstances of his life; even his period is still a matter of dispute. We must, therefore, content ourselves with whatever notices we find ofAryabhatta and his system in the various writers on astronomy and other mathematical sciences whose authority is established and cannot be called into doubt.
Aryabhatta is the first writer on astronomy to whom the Hindus do not allow the honour of a divine inspiration. Writers on mathematical science distinctly state that he was the earliest uninspired and a merely human writer on astronomy. This is a notice which sufficiently proves his being an historical character.
