He gave the Pythagorean Theorem to the world.
An example is Pythagoras's Theorem: that the sum of the squares of the two shorter side lengths of a triangle with a right-angle is equal to the square of the length of the side opposite the right angle.

To use the Pythagorean theorem you need to know at least two sides and the fact that the triangle is right angled, or al three sides. Even though you may not know the sides explicitly there must be indirect information to give you the sides - otherwise you cannot use Pythagoras.
Tell you what: I'll describe the practical use, and then you can find the example. OK ?The practical use of scientific notation is to greatly simplify the writing, reporting,and remembering of very large and very small numbers.
