Pythagoras' Theorem........Pythagoras' Theorem

Pythagoras' Theorem
Many  Years ago, a man named Pythagoras found an amazing fact about triangles.
The Pythagorean Theorem is Pythagoras' most famous mathematical contribution. According to legend, Pythagoras was so happy when he discovered the theorem that he offered a sacrifice of oxen. The later discovery that the square root of 2 is irrational and therefore, cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, greatly troubled Pythagoras and his followers. They were devout in their belief that any two lengths were integral multiples of some unit length. Many attempts were made to suppress the knowledge that the square root of 2 is irrational. It is even said that the man who divulged the secret was drowned at sea.


that is given bellow.......

  If the imagine a triangle with  a right 90° angle


    & there is  a square on each of the three sides, then it found that

    ***********


    ... the biggest square had the exact same area as the other two squares put together**********

   

It is called "Pythagoras' Theorem" and can be written in one short equation:    a2 + b2 = c2


The theorem is of fundamental importance in Euclidean Geometry where it serves as a basis for the definition of distance between two points. It's so basic and well known that, I believe, anyone who took geometry classes in high school couldn't fail to remember it long after other math notions got thoroughly forgotten.
