  2. Bhaskara II

  3. Brahmagupta

  4. Panini


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Brahmagupta is considered the father of Indian geometry for his contributions to the field, including his work on the Pythagorean theorem and his development of a formula for the area of a triangle.

What is the name of the theorem that states that the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse?

  1. Pythagorean theorem

  2. Euclidean theorem

  3. Bhaskara's theorem

  4. Aryabhata's theorem


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is a fundamental theorem of geometry that states that the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

What is the name of the formula for the area of a triangle?

  1. Brahmagupta's formula

  2. Heron's formula

  3. Pythagorean theorem

  4. Euclidean theorem


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Brahmagupta's formula is a formula for the area of a triangle that is given by the formula: Area = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)), where s is the semiperimeter of the triangle and a, b, and c are the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.
