Did Pythagoras get credit for the Pythagorean theorem?

Yes. His name is on it.


Why was Pythagoras credited for pythagorean theorem?

Pythagoras made the "Pythagorean Theorem".And He is a Mathematician. I remember it is not specified on the piece.


Is pi and Pythagoras the same thing?

No, pi and Pythagoras are not the same thing. Pi (π) is a mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. Pythagoras, on the other hand, was an ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician known for the Pythagorean theorem, which relates the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. While both are fundamental concepts in mathematics, they refer to different ideas.


Is Pythagoras' theorem the same as Pythagorean triples?

Pythagoras' theorem is a mathematical principle stating that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a² + b² = c²). Pythagorean triples are specific sets of three positive integers (a, b, c) that satisfy this theorem, such as (3, 4, 5) or (5, 12, 13). While the theorem describes the relationship between the sides of a right triangle, Pythagorean triples are concrete examples of integer solutions that adhere to this relationship.
