Who is Pythagorus?
Contributions to Mathematics:

Pythagorus is an ancient Greek mathematician.
Pythagoreans contributed to our understanding of angles,
triangles, areas, proportion, polygons, and polyhedra. He
created the pythagorean theorem that helps to understand
right triangles. Pythagoras studied odd and even numbers,
triangular numbers, and perfect numbers.

The pythagorean theorem states that the legs of a right
triangle squared is equal to the hypotenuse squared.
