Will there is the Pythagoras theorem and then there is Fermat theorem which is modified version of Pythagoras.
e.g.
Pythagoras theorem is:
x^2+y^2= z^2
where z is the largest side of the triangle. x and y are the remaining sides.
for the Fermat theorem is:
x^3+y^3=z^3
this equation spans the third dimension.
However Fermet also came up with the last theorem.
Which is:
x^n+y^n=z^n
this one is impossible to solve because there is no know possible solution......

There is only one Pythagoras theorem, the well known one. No-one really knows whether Pythagoras (who does seem to have really existed) really proved the theorem or knew the result. It seems a bit advanced for his early date. All we know about his dates is that he went to Croton in Southern Italy in about 531 bc. Euclid on the other hand in whose work on geometry the standard proof is to be found for the first time lived about 300 bc. I have always been fascinated by why Pyth's theorem is true. It seems to have something to do with what happens when we enlarge a figure but that wd be too complicated to go into here. There is an interesting proof much shorter than Euclid's based on similar triangles. Unfortunately Euc hadn't got to them in his book when he proved Pythagoras.

U talking about the basic one, or the extended one
basic the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the 2 shorter sides
H^2 = A^2 + O^2
extended
H^2 = A^2 + O^2 - 4*A*O(cos of H)
coz i don't know it

Yes. Did you really think you were the whole person in the whole world who has learnt pythagoras' theorem? Did it not occur to you that somebody else must know it, for you to learn it off them?

The squaw on the hippopotamus equals the sum of the squaws on the other two hides.
(An old American Indian bought three wives and had the most expensive of the three sit on the hide of a hippo. The other two wives sat on deer skins. The amount he paid for the most expensive wife was equal to the sum of the cost of the other two.)

In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side of a right triangle opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (i.e. the two sides other than the hypotenuse).
