Pythagoras Pythagoras (580-500 JC) was a Greek philosopher and mathematician. He was born on the island of Samos and settled in southern Italy, where he founded a religious school, politics and philosophy. The Pythagoreans Studies on odd and even numbers, prime numbers and square. In geometry, his great discovery was the theorem that bears his name, which states that "the square of the hypotenuse" of a right triangle is equal to "the sum of the squares of the other two sides, the legs.
Theorem of Pythagoras states that in a triangle the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side of triangle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs ( the two shorter sides of the triangle, which form the right angle). If a right triangle has legs of lengths and, and the measure of the hypotenuse is, states that:
C2 = A2 + B2
The Pythagorean Theorem is so named because their discovery rests on the Pythagorean school. Earlier in Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt was known triples of values \u200b\u200bthat correspond to the sides of a triangle, and used to solve problems pertaining to the said triangles, as shown in some tablets and papyrus , but has not endured any document theoretically expose their relationship. The pyramid of Khafre , dating from the century XXVI a. C. , was the first great pyramid was built based on the so-called sacred Egyptian triangle ,
