WHERE DID PYTHAGORAS THEOREM COME FROM
 WHEN WAS PYTHAGORAS THEOREM CREATED?

• HISTORIANS GENERALLY AGREE THAT PYTHAGORAS OF SAMOS (BORN CIRCA 569 BC IN

SAMOS, IONIA AND DIED CIRCA 475 BC) WAS THE FIRST MATHEMATICIAN. HE IS AN
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FIGURE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICS, YET RELATIVELY LITTLE
IS KNOWN ABOUT HIS MATHEMATICAL ACHIEVEMENTS.
 WHEN DID PYTHAGORAS DIE?

Born
c. 570 BC Samos

c. 495 BC (aged around 75) either Croton or

Died
Metapontum

Era Ancient Greek philosophy

Region Western philosophy

 WHY DID PYTHAGORAS DIE?

• HE THEN WENT TO METAPONTUM AND STARVED HIMSELF TO DEATH. SOME OTHER ACCOUNTS
SAY THAT HE WAS CAUGHT IN A CONFLICT BETWEEN AGRIGENTUM AND THE SYRACUSANS
ANDWAS KILLED BY THE SYRACUSANS. WHATEVER WAS THE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH,
ACCORDING TO MOST ACCOUNTS HE DIED IN 495 BC. ... PYTHAGORAS IS BELIEVED TO HAVE
DIED AROUND 500 B.C.
 • THE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM DEALS WITH THE LENGTHS OF
THE SIDES OF A RIGHT TRIANGLE. THE THEOREM STATES THAT:
THE SUM OF THE SQUARES OF THE LENGTHS OF THE LEGS OF
A RIGHT TRIANGLE ('A' AND 'B' IN THE TRIANGLE SHOWN
BELOW) IS EQUAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE LENGTH OF THE
HYPOTENUSE ('C’).
