Answer:

Pythagoras of Samos (born circa 570 and died circa 495 BC) was an ancient Ionian Greek philosopher and the eponymous founder of Pythagoreanism. His political and religious teachings were well known in Magna Graecia and influenced the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and, through them, Western philosophy. Knowledge of his life is clouded by legend, but he appears to have been the son of Mnesarchus, a gem-engraver on the island of Samos. Modern scholars disagree regarding Pythagoras's education and influences, but they do agree that, around 530 BC, he travelled to Croton in southern Italy, where he founded a school in which initiates were sworn to secrecy and lived a communal, ascetic lifestyle. This lifestyle entailed a number of dietary prohibitions, traditionally said to have included vegetarianism, although modern scholars doubt that he ever advocated for complete vegetarianism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras discoveries

1. The sum of the angles of a triangle is equal to two right angles.

2. The Pythagorean Theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 in which a, b, and c are the sides of a triangle.

3. Constructing figures of a given area and geometrical algebra

4, The discovery of irrationals and the philosophy behind it

5, The five regular solids

6. In astronomy, he taught that the earth was a sphere at the center of the universe.

Easy question:
Delvig [45]

Answer:

3 hours and 45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let's assume the tank has a volume of x liters.

let's assume the speed of filling it is x/6 liters per hour for A and x/10 liters per hour for B.

the formula to calculate the time is:

time = volume / speed

If the pumps work together, the total speed is x/6 + x/10, which is 16/60 x

So the time this takes is:

time = x / (16/60 x) = 60/16 hours = 3.75 hours = 3 hours and 45 minutes.
