The Pythagorean Theorem is used to find side lengths of right triangles. It came from the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras.
Although the mathematical facts of the theorem existed - even before humans did - the theorem itself did not exist until Pythagoras thought of it. In that sense, he did not FIND it because it did not exist until he had thought of it.
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2. It is used for right triangles. If you know two of the sides, you can use the theorem to find the third side.
Pythagoras is credited with the Pythagorean Theorem. Which says if you have a right triangle with sides A and B and a hypotenuse(longest side, across from the right angle) C. The A^2+B^2 = C^2 This theorem is used repeatedly through math to find the side length of triangles.
Yes.

Yes Pythagoras' theorem can be used to find the interior diagonal of a cube for example.
Pythagoras' theorem is used to find any of the 3 sides of a right angle triangle if the 2 other sides are known.
Pythagoras THEOREM IS USED TO FIND RELATION BETWEEN THREE SIDES OF A RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE BASE2 + HEIGHT2 = hypotenuse2
Pythagoras theorem
Pythagoras was an ancient Greek mathematician whose theorem was: any right angle triangle, when its hypotenuse is squared, is equal to the sum of its squared sides. discovery of a mathematical formula to relate the sides of a right triangle
The Pythagorean Theorem was named after the guy who discovered it. He was a Greek named Pythagoras. We don't know much about him. We think he died around 500 BC. There's more information in his Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras or you can use Google to find out more about him. Good luck, Doug
You can use pythagorean theorem twice to find the diagonal of a cube
You don't. You could measure each side and calculate the area of each face. Using Pythagoras's theorem only makes it simpler!
Pythagoras, the Greek Mathematician. The Pythagorean theorem (P Theorem) ~ a2 + b2 = c2 Also used to find the hypotenuse of certain triangles.
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2. It is used for right triangles. If you know two of the sides, you can use the theorem to find the third side.
