The axiomatic structure of geometry, as initiated by Euclid and then developed by other mathematicians starts of with 8 axioms or postulates which are self-evident truths". Chains of logical reasoning can be used to prove theorems which are then accepted as additional truths, and so on. Geometry does not have laws, as such.

Did Pythagoras get credit for the Pythagorean theorem?
Yes. His name is on it.
Why was Pythagoras credited for pythagorean theorem?
Hmmm... because HE created it ! Pythagorean theorem is named after the mathematician Pythagoras ! See related link for the Wikipedia article on the gentleman concerned !
How do you use the Pythagorean theorem when c is 36?
If you have two lengths of the triangle, the Pythagorean theorem will help you find the third. As it is, you need to find two numbers whose squares add up to 1296. There are a lot of possibilities.
How do you figure out the Trigonometry theorem?
If, by trigonometry theorem you mean the "fundamental theorem of trigonometry," sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1, it is actually the Pythagorean Theorem. if you have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of one, sin(x) is one leg, and cos(x) is the other. The Pythagorean Theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2 and therefore sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1.
How can you work out pythagorass theorem?
There are a great number of different proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Unfortunately, many of them require diagrams which are hard to reproduce here. Check out the link to Wikipedia's page on the theorem for several different proofs.
Why can't the Pythagorean theorem be used without a right angle?
The Pythagorean theorem is actually the law of cos, where the angle is 90.
What does the law of cosines reduce to when dealing with a right triangle?
D. The Pythagorean Theorem
Is it true that the law of cosines reduces the Pythagorean theorem with right triangles?
Yes
Was the Pythagorean Theorem proven?
Oh yes, the Pythagorean Theorem has been proven.
What shape does the Pythagorean theorem use?
The Pythagorean theorem uses the right triangle.
What mathematical law states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle being equal to the sum of square?
That is the theorem of Pythagoras, or the Pythagorean Theorem.
What are the aspects of Pythagoras theorem?
There are 19 various aspects of Pythagoras theorem. Pythagorean Theorem (1) Pythagoras Theorem(2) Pythagorean Theorem (3) Pythagorean Theorem (4) Pythagoras Theorem(5) Pythagorean Theorem(6) Pythagrean Theorem(7) Pythagoras Theorem(8) Pythagorean Theorem (9) Hyppocrates' lunar Minimum Distance Shortest Distance Quadrangular Pyramid (1) Quadrangular Pyramid (2) Origami Two Poles Pythagoras Tree(1) Pythagoras Tree(2) Theorem by Pappus
How do you use a Pythagorean theorem with cube?
You can use pythagorean theorem twice to find the diagonal of a cube
What is the standard form of the pythagorean theorem?
the standard form of the Pythagorean Theorem is :a2 + b2 = c2
What are the types of Pythagorean theorem?
The Pythagorean theorem is a2 + b2 = c2
Did anyone oppose to the pythgreom theorm?
Although the Pythagorean theorem (sums of square of a right angled triangle) is called a theorem it has many mathematical proofs (including the recent proof of Fermats last theorem which tangentially also prooves Pythagorean theorem). In fact Pythagorean theorem is an 'axiom', a kind of 'super law'. It doesn't matter if anyone does oppose it, it is one of the few fundamental truths of the universe.
What cultures used Pythagorean theorem?
The Greek, Babylonian, Indian, and Chines knew and used the Pythagorean Theorem.
