Pythagoras is a well known Greek philosopher who famously founded Pythagoras theorem. His theory states that within a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the squares of the two other sides. This photo includes what looks like a right angled triangle but we can't be sure if it actually is. Usually right angled triangles within mathematics are marked with a small box where the 90 degree angle is situated. We would have to work out the lengths of the triangle, including the hypotenuse, within the picture and then use Pythagoras theorem to prove our findings.
