Pythagoras Pythagoras of Samos (approximately 570-495 BCE) was an im materialist Greek philosopher who held that the basic elements of reality are everywhere in nature and because they areandAs an immaterialist, Pythagoras held that reality is fundamentally because they can be observed atoms and molecules earth and fire air and water numbers and mathematical relationships in nature The Pythagorean Theoremm eternal Pythagoras is often credited with the discovery of the Pythagorean theorem, which is an example of the way in which mathematical relationships can be found in the physical world around us. The Pythagorean theorem describes the relationship between the length of the legs of a right triangle and the length of the triangle's hypotenuse According to the Pythagorean theorem, you can calculate the length of a triangle's hypotenuse with the following equation destructible nonphysical ysical The Pythagorean theorem: a2b2 c2 where a Length of one leg b- Length of the other leg cLength of the hypotenuse Suppose you want to determine the length of the edge of a sail (c) on a miniature sailboat. You know the height of the sail (a) is 40 inches and the length of the sail's boom (b) is 30 inches
