by the greek mathematician and philosopher 'Pythagoras'.
How about the Pythagorean Theorem? Named after Pythagoras of Samos.
Yes. The Pythagorean Theorem is true for only right triangles. However, a variety of other similar equations can be used for other triangle types. Law of Sines: a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC Law of Cosines: c2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab*cosC
I don't think I could make the proof clear without a diagram, so you must check the related links to read it. I will say that it is algebraic in nature and is based on knowing how to find the area of a trapezoid. The first link is a student link and may not stay up for long. The second link contains several proofs of the Pythagorean theorem and you will have to hunt in it to find Garfield's proof, but it is there.
Ancient Greece had a lot of fine achitecture. Of course, you have to do that with math. For example, how can u tell is a building is 90 degrees to the ground. You would have to use the pythagorean theorem. IDK if this answers ur question, but o well
Greek culture has many impacts on today's society including math-the Pythagorean theorem, the Olympic games, putting together an alphabet, inventing banks, and most important creating a Democracy. Hope this helps
It was derived to mathematicians of the time and ever since.
Pythagoras
No.
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
Yes, the distance formula for a line segment was derived from Pythagoras' theorem.
True
Better for what??? Actually, both are closely related. The distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
Oh yes, the Pythagorean Theorem has been proven.
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
Yes, the formula for the Euclidean distance. But not necessarily other distance metrics.
There are 19 various aspects of Pythagoras theorem.

You can use pythagorean theorem twice to find the diagonal of a cube
