It states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras, this theorem is one of the earliest mathematical discoveries and is still widely used today.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"3\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Brief History and Origins<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The theorem dates to 570-495 BCE, attributed to Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher and mathematician.
