He didn't.
He would likely have called it a ὑποτείνουσα ("ypoteinousa"), which means something like "stretching under" (the right angle). However, I don't think he invented the word.

When to use Pythagoras?
In a right angle triangle,pythagoras theorem can be used if (1)the 2 sides are equal and their measure is less than the hypotenuse (or) (2)the 2 sides are different and their measure is less than the hypotenuse.
What is the definition of a Pythagoras?
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angle triangle its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
How do you make Pythagoras theoram?
By constructing a right angle triangle whereas its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides which is known as Pythagoras' theorem.
Why was Pythagoras interested in triangles?
Pythagoras was interested in triangles when he found out that for any right angle triangle that when its hypotenuse is squared it is equal to the sum of its two squared sides.
In a right angled triangle ABC the hypotenuse AC is equal to what?
In a right angled triangle its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides which is Pythagoras' theorem for a right angle triangle.
Who invented the hypotenuse?
Pythagoras
Which is the hypotenuse-angle theorem?
It is Pythagoras' theorem
What are the remarks of Pythagoras?
Pythagoras became immortalised simply by finding a method for calculating the length of hypotenuse
What is the hypotenuse of a triangle with a 8 and 6 centimeter sides?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the hypotenuse is 10 cm
Did Pythagoras discover prime numbers?
No He discovered how to work out the hypotenuse
What comes to your mind first when you hear the term hypotenuse?
Pythagoras
What is the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of 12 and 35?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 37
What is Pythagoras property?
It is used to find the hypotenuse of a Right triangle (hypotenuse)2= (side1)2 + (side2)2
What is the hypotenuse of a right angle with the legs of 24 and 32 inches?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the hypotenuse is 40 inches
Is hypotenuse is greater from other sides in Pythagoras theorem?
The hypotenuse is the longest side. In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle.
What is the hypotenuse with the lengths of 5 and 6?
according to the pythagoras theorem, In a right angled triangle,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2here, 2 sides are given, that are 5cm and 6cm (or it can be in meter )so by pythagoras theorem we get,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2(hypotenuse)2 = 52 + 62(hypotenuse)2 = 25 + 36(hypotenuse)2 = 61hypotenuse = √61
Who discovered the formula for hypotenuse of a triangle?
Sounds like you mean Pythagoras.
