The theorem "In a right-angle triangle, the area of the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares of the other two sides", was discovered by:
Answer: Pythagoras
Explanation
The theorem you mentioned is known as Pythagoras' Theorem, which states:
c2=a^2+b^2
where:
- is the hypotenuse (the longest side of a right-angled triangle).
- and b are the other two sides.
It was discovered by the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras and is fundamental in geometry.
