He didn't.
He would likely have called it a ὑποτείνουσα ("ypoteinousa"), which means something like "stretching under" (the right angle). However, I don't think he invented the word.
In a right angle triangle,pythagoras theorem can be used if (1)the 2 sides are equal and their measure is less than the hypotenuse (or) (2)the 2 sides are different and their measure is less than the hypotenuse.
Pythagoras' theorem states that for any right angle triangle its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides.
Pythagoras is often credited with the discovery of the formula for finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle, expressed as (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), where (c) is the length of the hypotenuse and (a) and (b) are the lengths of the other two sides. However, evidence suggests that the knowledge of this relationship predates Pythagoras, as it was known to Babylonian mathematicians. Nonetheless, Pythagoras and his followers were instrumental in formalizing and proving the theorem, which has since become a fundamental principle in geometry.
By constructing a right angle triangle whereas its hypotenuse when squared is equal to the sum of its squared sides which is known as Pythagoras' theorem.
Pythagoras was interested in triangles when he found out that for any right angle triangle that when its hypotenuse is squared it is equal to the sum of its two squared sides.
Pythagoras
It is Pythagoras' theorem
Pythagoras became immortalised simply by finding a method for calculating the length of hypotenuse
Using Pythagoras' theorem the hypotenuse is 10 cm
Pythagoras
No He discovered how to work out the hypotenuse
It is used to find the hypotenuse of a Right triangle (hypotenuse)2= (side1)2 + (side2)2
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 37
Using Pythagoras' theorem the hypotenuse is 40 inches
The hypotenuse is the longest side. In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle.
according to the pythagoras theorem, In a right angled triangle,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2here, 2 sides are given, that are 5cm and 6cm (or it can be in meter )so by pythagoras theorem we get,(hypotenuse)2 = (side)2 + (side)2(hypotenuse)2 = 52 + 62(hypotenuse)2 = 25 + 36(hypotenuse)2 = 61hypotenuse = √61
Sounds like you mean Pythagoras.
