YES!!! It was discovered by a Classical Greek Mathematician, named Pythagoras. However, have a look in Wikipedia under Pythagoras' Theorem Proof. There it will give you both an algebraic proof, a geometric proof, and a proof by similar triangles.

The equation c^2 = a^2 + b^2 was known before Pythagoras, but he introduced it to western civilization.

What are the proofs for the Pythagoras theorem?

To the limit of our ability to measure with accuracy, no right triangle has ever been measured that doesn't fit the theorem. When one is found, we'll know that the theorem is false.This is exactly the method of science: A theory matches what we see and makes predictions that check out. When something comes along that doesn't match, we either modify the theory or completely throw it out. A theory can never be proven, but is always vulnerable to be disproven, no matter how long it has been used. All you have to do is find the example where it doesn't work, and you'll be famous.

He has not won any awards that we know of, being so old. However, he does have a prize named after him called the "Pythagoras Prize", given to mathematicians that were outstanding in their field.
