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 ...

The most important theorem we learnt in childhood carries the name of a Greek philosopher, but not necessarily the legacy. Evidence increasingly shows that the theorem existed long before his lifetime ...

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 ...

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