Who figured out he basic laws of geometry?
Geometry, unlike science, doesn't really have laws, it has theorems, and many different mathematicians contributed to the creation of the basic theorems of geometry. Perhaps the best known is Pythagoras.
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."
Can theorems be used to prove other theorems?
Yes, they can. This is done all the time in mathematics, logic and other areas. However, you must ensure that you either record the theorems used, or write them out in whole and attach them to the proof of the new theorem.
Can postulates be used to solve theorems?
No. A postulate need not be true.
What were Pythagoras' important contributions?
In a word, geometry. He also influenced Plato, Aristotle, and many other philosophers and mathematicians long after his death.He also established many geometrical theorems, including the Pythagorean Theorem.
