Question

2 contribution of pythagaras in the field of maths

Answer 1

Pythagoras was a famous Greek mathematician and he was born around 569 BC in Samos, Greece. His contributions to maths are very useful and helpful for students and teachers. He has given us the famous Pythagoras Theorem. This Pythagoras Theorem states that the sum of squares of the shorter sides of a right angled triangle is equal to the square of the longer side, which is hypotenuse. He also worked on proving various other theorems or axioms, including the square root of 2. Which is an irrational number that could be given in the form of an integer or a fraction. he also worked on prime numbers and composite numbers.
Pythagoras studied the the properties of area and volume and he was the first to prove that the circle contains a greater area than any plain figure with the same perimeter. While the sphere contains a greater volume than any other shape bounded by the same surface.
