Sounds like you mean Pythagoras.

Using Pythagoras' Theorum: (height)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2 - (base)^2
Pythagoras discovered many of the properties of what would become trigonometric functions. The Pythagorean Theorum, a2 + b2 = c2 is a representation of the fundemental trigonometric identity sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1. 1 is the hypotenuse of any right triangle, and has legs length sin(x) and cos(x) with x being one of the two non-right angles. With this in mind, the identity upon which trigonometry is based turs out to be the Pythagorean Theorum.

you can choose; usually h. in pythagoras's theorum, it is a c i.e. a2 + b2 = c2
Pythagoras is called the father of numbers because he discovered the Pythagoras theoram.

pythagoras. he had lots of different theorums, one named after him in fact(pythagorases theorum) he came up wth the symbol from ancient greek drawings.
