Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher and religious leader.He was responsible for many important developments in maths,
astronomy, and
music.
Pythagoras (~560-480 B.C.)

His students formed a secret society called the Pythagoreans.
As well as studying maths, they were a political and religious organisation.
Members could be identified by a five pointed star they wore on their clothes.
The Secret Brotherhood

They had to follow some unusual rules. They were not allowed to wear wool, drink wine or pick up anything they had dropped! Eating beans was also strictly forbidden!

What does this tell you about the areas of the three squares?
The red square and the yellow square together cover the green square exactly.The square on the longest side is equal in
area to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.

The longest side, which is always opposite the right-angle, has a special name:
This is the name of Pythagoras’ most famous discovery.

How do we find x?
We need to use the
square root button on the calculator.It looks like this √
