The Pythagorean theorem, a cornerstone of mathematics for millennia, provides a method for determining unknown sides in right-angled triangles using the formula a² + b² = c². Its applications extend ...

Instead of presenting the theorem as an abstract formula, the book draws from Baudhayana's Sulba Sutra to explain the concept ...

Use Pythagoras’ theorem to show a triangle is right-angled or to find one side of a right-angled triangle when two sides are known. Make sure you are confident at substituting into and manipulating ...

a 2 + b 2 = c 2. Remember that from high school math class? That's the Pythagorean theorem, which shows that in a right triangle, where the shorter legs are a and b, the sum of their squares is equal ...

If the sides of the right-angled triangle are labelled 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 then Pythagoras' theorem can be written as the formula 𝑎² + 𝑏² = 𝑐². Pythagoras' theorem can be used to find the length of line ...

The most important theorem we learnt in childhood carries the name of a Greek philosopher, but not necessarily the legacy.

NCERT’s new Class 8 maths book now calls it the Baudhayana–Pythagoras Theorem, crediting ancient Indian scholar Baudhayana.

Pythagoras was an influential Greek mathematician and philosopher, best known for the theory which he gave his name. Very little is known about his life, however. He is believed to have been born on ...

From trigonometry to Pythagoras' theorem, there are plenty of mathematical terms you might remember from school – but could you actually answer a question now? After a survey found half of British ...
