INTRODUCTION
The Pythagorean theorem is a cornerstone of math that helps us find
the missing side length of a right triangle. In a right triangle with sides
A, B, and hypotenuse C, the theorem states that A² + B² = C². The
hypotenuse is the longest side, opposite the right angle.
HISTORY OF PYTHAGORAS
The Pythagorean theorem was first known in ancient Babylon and Egypt
(beginning about 1900 B.C.). The relationship was shown on a 4000 year
old Babylonian tablet now known as Plimpton 322. However, the
relationship was not widely publicized until Pythagoras stated it
explicitly. Pythagoras found out that for a right angle triangle (with one
of the angles being 90o), the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the
sum of the squares of the other two sides: a2+b2=c2.
DISCOVERY OF PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem or Pythagoras’ theorem is a
fundamental relation in Euclidean geometry between the three sides
of a right triangle. It states that the area of the square whose side is
the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum
of the areas of the squares on the other two sides.The theorem can be
written as an equation relating the lengths of the sides a, b and the
hypotenuse c, sometimes called the Pythagorean
equation:c^2=a^2+b^2

The theorem is named for the Greek philosopher Pythagoras, born


around 570 BC. The theorem has been proved numerous times by
many different methods – possibly the most for any mathematical
theorem. The proofs are diverse, including both geometric proofs and
algebraic proofs, with some dating back thousands of years.
PROOF OF PYTHAGORAS THEOREM
We Will take three squares of different sides and we will join two
corners of each square like this :
In this picture we will see that the sum of area of
Square a and b will be equal to square c.
A^2+b^2=c^2.
If we will fill the square a and b with liquid then
We will see that liquid filled in both small squares will
equal to the biggest one .
So by this we can proof Pythagoras theorum. The
Liquid in two small squares get completely filled in the big square.
Numerical proof:
This is right angled triangle with base 12cm and
Perpendicular 5cm and hypotenuse 13cm.
We know that H^2=P^2+B^2
(13)^2 = (5)^2 + (12)^2
169= 25 + 144
169=169
Hence again Pythagoras Theorum is proved.
APLICATION OF PYTHAGORAS THEOREM IN REAL LIFE
Some of the important real-life uses of the Pythagorean
theorem are as follows:
 Used in construction and architecture.
 Used in two-dimensional navigation to find the shortest
distance.
 Used to survey the steepness of the slopes of mountains or
hills.
 To calculate the length of staircase required to reach a
window
 To find the length of the longest item can be kept in your
room.
 To find the steepness of the hills or mountains.
 To find the original height of a tree broken due to heavy
rain and lying on itself
 To determine heights and measurements in the
construction.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the Pythagorean Theorem stands as a cornerstone
of mathematics, providing us with a powerful tool to solve
various problems involving right triangles. Its elegant simplicity
belies its profound significance in fields ranging from
architecture to astronomy. By understanding this fundamental
concept, we gain access to a world of geometric possibilities,
enabling us to calculate distances, design structures, and
navigate our surroundings with precision. As we conclude our
exploration, let us appreciate the timeless wisdom
encapsulated within this theorem, reminding us of the enduring
beauty and utility of mathematics in our lives.
