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.


Who discovered pythagorean theorem?

It was years before, Pythagoras(580 BC - 500 BC) is said to have discovered Pythagorean Theorem. Strangely, 5 centuries after Pythagoras lived, the theorem Pythagorean was attributed to him. The discovery of the theorm Pythagorean came when Pythagoras was waiting for the tyrannical ruler, Polycrates. An interesting idea had flashed Pythagoras mind: A diagonal line can be used to cut or divide the square and two right triangles would be produced from the cut sides. After examining it further, Pythagoras formulated the idea in mind. Happy to help you.
