in 196 BC
He didn't find any theorem !!! However, the mathematical eq'n bearing his name was known to earlier civilisation , such as the Egyptians, and the Sumerians. However, he introduced and published his eq;n into the western civilisation. The eq'n is ;- h^(2) = a^(2) + b^(2) That is the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the other two sides squared. It only refers to right angled triangles.
Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.

Pythagoras' theorem is applicable to right angle triangles
~The Pythagoras theorem
I have never heard of it referred to as the hypotenuse-angle theorem . It is usually named the Pythagorean Theorem. In word the theorem is ' The hypotenuse squared is equal to the sume of the other two sides squared. Algebraically written as h^(2) = a^(1) + b^(2)
To find the length of the third side of a right-angled triangle.
Pythagoras invented the Pythagoras Theorem.
the
it relates to pythagoras theorem.
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.
