The Pythagorean theorem was one of the earliest known theorems of ancient civilizations. This famous theorem is named after the Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras. Pythagoras founded the Pythagorean school of mathematics in Cortona, a Greek port in southern Italy. He is credited with many contributions to mathematics, although some of these may in fact be the work of his students.
Pythagoras’ theorem is Pythagoras’ most famous mathematical contribution. According to legend, Pythagoras was so happy when he discovered the theorem that he offered a sacrifice of oxen. The later discovery that the square root of 2 is irrational and therefore cannot be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers greatly upset Pythagoras and his followers. They were convinced that any two lengths were integer multiples of a certain unit length. Many attempts have been made to suppress the knowledge that the square root of 2 is irrational. It is even said that the man who divulged the secret drowned at sea.
The Pythagorean theorem is a statement about triangles containing a right angle. The Pythagorean theorem states that:
“The area of the square built on the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares of the remaining sides.”

answer 3
Pythagorean theorem: a squared = b squared = c squared.
Pythagore’s theorem:
In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two sides. That’s to say,
(hypotenuse)2 = (leg)2 + (other leg)2.
More formally, if a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse, then
a2 + b2 = c2
Answer 6
A (square) plus B (square) equals C (square)
the two shorter sides of a triangle squared and added together are equal to the square of the longer side when you get which is equal, you take the square root of it.
Answer 8
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
one=leg
b=other leg
c = hypotenuse
this formula only works for a right triangle.

Answer 5
HELP KEVIN- A and B are the shortest legs of the triangle, c is the longest and is called the hypotenuse
Answer 1
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Good luck! it’s very simple, just connect the sides, and the side you didn’t act as x!
Answer 6
A (square) plus B (square) equals C (square)
the two shorter sides of a triangle squared and added together are equal to the square of the longer side when you get which is equal, you take the square root of it.
