Pythagoras of Samos (6C BC) Pierre de Fermat (1601 – 1675) Fermat’s Last Theorem is strongly linked to Pythagoras’ Theorem. In particular, solutions to the equation a2 + b2 = c2 where a, b and c are all positive integers. 25 9 16 32+ 42= 52 9 + 16 = 25 A Pythagorean Triple 3 4 5 3, 4, 5 In a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the
