Is the Pythagorean theorem really Pythagoras'?
No because the theorem was well known in ancient civilizations.
What are 2 facts about Pythagoras?
Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician and philosopher who lived in the 6th century BCE. He is most well-known for his theorem, known as the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Pythagoras founded a philosophical and religious school in ancient Greece known as the Pythagorean School. The school was known for its emphasis on mathematics, music, and the idea that numbers were the key to understanding the universe. Pythagoras and his followers believed in the concept of the harmony of the spheres, which linked mathematical ratios to the movement of planets and celestial bodies.
What is Pythagoras well known for in your mathematics books?
The 'Pythagorean Theorems. eg:- "The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides."
Who is the mathematician who derived a formula to calculate the relationship between sides of a right triangle?
Pythagoras proved it, but it may well have been discovered and used before his time.
When did Greece invent the Pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem was, oddly enough, first postulated by a Greek named Pythagoras of Samos, in the 6th century BC or so. It basically described the relationship among the three sides of a triangle and the areas of the same. There is some thought that Babylonian mathematicians well before the time of Pythagoras knew of the relationship, but he's the guy who got his name on the theorem.
How can Pythagoras became well known?
To school children in the Western world, Pythagoras is probably best known for Pythagoras theorem. However, apart from Eurocentrism, there is little to connect Pythagoras with the theorem since it was known to Mesopotemian, Chinese and Indian mathematicians for centuries before Pythagoras.

Who wrote the Pythagorean theorem?
better word would be, perhaps, "proved". It was Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras. But the fact that in a triangle with an angle of 90 degrees the square of the longest side equals the sum of squares of other two sides, was well known before Pythagoras in Egypt and India
