Everyone always talks about the Pythagorean Theorem, but what is it, and who is this Pythagoras guy?
Well, Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician who lived approximately 2,500 years ago. He made great contributions to the fields or mathematics and philosophy, and even founded his own religion. Unfortunately, much of what is known about Pythagoras is controversial, due to the fact that none of his own work survived.
What we do know, is that he believed numbers to be the basis for life and thought that everything was predictable and cyclical. And thus, he created the Pythagorean Theorem to help students like you find the length of the hypotenuse on right triangles!
Here's a quick video from Math Crazy Tutoring to help you understand how this theorem works!
Hope that helps!
