Who is the Greek mathematician whose theory states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two other sides?
Pythagoras
What is the pythogaras theory exactly?
hypotenuse*hypotenuse=opposite side*opposite side+adjecent side*adjecent side
What is a famous math theory?
Do you mean THEOREM? In math a theorem is a statement which is proved true by applying a chain of logic. A famous one is the Pythagorean Theorem: The sum of squares of the legs of a right triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse. A^2 + B^2 = C^2
Who invented the Pythagorean theory and in what year?
The Pythagorean theory was not invented but it was discovered by ancient mathematicians many thousands of years ago who found that when the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is squared then it is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
A cool math question?
Why is it still called Pythagoras' theorem when it is no longer a theory that the hypotenuse of a right triangle when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
If the two equal sides of a 90 degree isosceles triangle are 48 inches long what is the length of the third side?
Pythagoras theory can be used, which says the square on the hypotenuse (longest side) equals sum of squares on other two sides. Let x be the length of the hypotenuse. So x2 = 482 + 482 = 2304 + 2304 = 4608 sq. inches So x = square root of 4608 = 67.88 inches
What is the phaythagoras theory?
The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the Hypotenuse of an isosilees triangle if equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides

Pythagoras
How can you find the base and height of a triangle if you only have one side?
You can only do this if it is a right angled, isosceles triangle. If you have one of the shorter ones, then use Pythagoras Theory to find the hypotenuse, and the other short one would be the same as the one you started with. If you have the hypotenuse, say its 3, the you can use Pythagoras Theory again. a squared+a squared=9 thus 2asquare=9 A squared=4.5 A=root of 4.5 When it is the shorter side.
What is the Pythagorean theory?
The pythagorean theory or pythagorean theorem is a formula to find the leg or the hypotenuse for a right triangle. There are three parts to a triangle, The legs(A2) and (B2). The hypotenuse (C2). The hypotenuse is always the longest side of the triangle it is always adjacent to the 900 angle of the right triangle. The actual pythagorean theorem is A2 + B2 = C2. Example: A=2 B= 4 C=? A2 + B2 =C2 22 + 42 =C2 4 + 16= C2 20=C2 Now you find the square root for the two numbers you just added 4.4 = C
What is the pythogaras theory exactly?
hypotenuse*hypotenuse=opposite side*opposite side+adjecent side*adjecent side
What is the Pythagorean thearom?
Presume you mean the Theory of Pythagoras. This states ' In any right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the sqaures of the 2 adjacent sides' Cheers, Anne
What is Pythagoras theory used for?
He came up with the Pythagoras theoremIn a right angled triangle the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the squares on the other two sides.Builders make use of the theorem to make corners square. If you have piece of rope or chain 12 metres long and make a triangle on the ground where one side is 3 metres , another 4 and the longest 5 then a right angle will be formed between the 3 and 4 metre lengths.
What contribution did the Pythagoras do in math?
He is best known for publishing the theory of how to calculate the length of the hypotenuse on a right angled triangle, using the formula: a2+b2=c2 where c is the hypotenuse
What is the phythagorean theorem?
If you have two straight lines AB and BC such that the two lines meet at B and AB and BC make 90 degrees with each other then the pythagorean theory (theoram) states that the length of line AC (assume that points A and C are joined by a straight line) then (AC) squared = (AB) squared +(BC) squared
How do you use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse?
Pythagoras' theory was a2 + b2= c2 . This means that if you had a rightangled triangle and labled the horizontal side b and the vertical side a, then if you squared them both and added them together then the answer would be squared by the normal length of the hypotenuse. This will only work if you are using pythagorean triples which are just three lengths that fit together to make this theory work. For example if side a was 3cm and side b was 4cm, then you would square them both giving you 9cm and 16cm and then if you added them both together, that would give you 25. You square root 25 giving you 5 which is the length of the hypotenuse. Its alot easier to explain with pictures so look on Google images for help and then refer back to this and hopefully it'll start to make more sense
