The Pythagorean Theorem was not made, it was discovered by an ancient Greek philosipher named Pythagoras.

"A greek phylosopher proposed a theory that when two squares are drawn with a common corner and their sides are perpendicular to each other then a third square whose side connects to the corners of the adjacent sides of the first two squares will have an area that is equal to the sum of areas of the first two squares.

let

square1 be Area1 = X x X = X^2

square2 be Area2 = Y x Y = Y^2

Square3 be Area3 = H x H = H^2

the sides are X, Y, H form the triangle whose 90 deg angle is between X and Y.

He states that the sum of the squares of these sides = the square of the thid side.

He is actually reffering to the areas of the three squares. "From...(ENAC)
