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.

When did Pythagoras invent the distance formula?

Pythagoras did not invent the distance formula as we know it today; however, he is credited with the Pythagorean theorem, which is foundational to the distance calculation in a Cartesian coordinate system. The distance formula, derived from the Pythagorean theorem, was formalized much later, in the context of coordinate geometry, which developed in the 17th century with the work of mathematicians like René Descartes. Thus, while Pythagoras' theorem laid the groundwork, the distance formula itself was not attributed to him.


How Many Different Types Of Pythagorean Theorem There Is?

There are several types of Pythagorean theorems, primarily categorized into three main types: the standard Pythagorean theorem for right triangles, the generalized Pythagorean theorem for n-dimensional spaces, and the Pythagorean theorem in different number systems, like the Pythagorean triples in integers. Additionally, there are variations such as the converse Pythagorean theorem and applications in various geometric contexts. Each type maintains the core principle of the relationship between the sides of a right triangle or its generalized forms.
