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.

Explain how to use the distributive property to find the product 3 x 4 1/5
NikAS [45]

Answer:

12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is 12.6 and here is the explanation of using the Distributive Property. Because we are multiplying a whole number by a mixed number, we have to multiply the whole number by the whole number in the mixed number and then multiply the whole number by the fraction. In this case, we have 3 x 4 1/5. We multiply 3x4=12 first, and then we multiply 3x1/5 to get 0.6. 12+0.6=12.6. Hope it helps!

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

x= 62

y= 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the numbers be x and y and the larger be x the smaller be y

The difference between two numbers is 8

x-y= 8-----------1

If the larger is  subtracted from three times the smaller, the difference is 100

3y-x=100------------2

from eqn 1, x= 8+y

put this in eqn 2

3y-(8+y)=100

3y-8-y=100

collect liker terms

3y-y-8=100

2y=108

y= 54

put y= 54 in eqn 1

x-y=8

x-54= 8

x= 8+54

x=62
