The man
who found Pythagoras theorem was the Greek philosopher and mathematician,
Pythagoras.
Pythagoras
theorem
Pythagoras theorem is a
simple rule about the proportion of the sides of right triangles.
The Pythagoras theorem
states that:
" the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal
to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the right triangle."
The
illustration of Pythagoras theorem
Right
triangle in Pythagoras theory
In a right triangle, a2 + b2 = c2 . This is also known
loosely as Pythagoras formula.
- The longest side in a right
triangle is the one opposite to the right
angle and it is called Hypotenuse.
- The other two perpendicular
sides are named base and height.
- (Hypotenuse)2 = (Base)2 + (Height)2
