Pythagoras lived from 571 BCE to 495 BCE, so he was about 76 when he died.
Pythagoras and his students are often said to have constructed the first proof of this useful theorem. Pythagoras had a school with many students. but the school was secretive, and the students gave their teacher for what they discovered. Because of this, we don't know exactly who did what and when.
In any case, it is clear from their clay tablets that the Babylonians knew and used the theorem we call "Pythagoras' Theorem", about a thousand years earlier. They also knew some kind of proof.

How old is Pythagoras' theorem?
Although t is known as Pythagoras' theorem and thus about 2500-2600 years old, considering Pythagoras lived between 5th and 6th century BC, it was known before this. There is evidence that the Babylonians of 20th to 16th century BC (some 1000 years before Pythagoras) knew it, making it about 3600-4000 years old.

Who discovered Pythagoras?
When Pythagoras discovered his theorem, he used the general terms of a & b for the shorter legs and c for the longer side which he gave the name "hypotenuse". Thus we have the famous PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM!a^2 + b^2 = c^2
What theorem on triangles did Pythagoras find?
Pythagoras theorem
From which civilization did Pythagoras borrow the 'Pythagorean Theorem'?
Pythagoras did not borrow the Pythagorean Theorem from any particular civilization. The theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, was discovered by Pythagoras himself and is named after him.
