Why is Baudhayana associated with the pythagoras theorem?

BAUDHAYANA

A famous theorem in geometry, known as the pythagoras theorem was actually explained by an indian mathematician called baudhayana, many years before pythagoras was born. Baudhayana lived around 800 BC. Pythagoras lived between 580 and 500 BC. Baudhayana was the author of one of the earliest documents in indian mathematics. It is believed that pythagoras actually travelled to Egypt, and then india, and learned many important mathematical theories, among them what is now known as the pythagoras theorem. Baudhayana has made many other important discoveries. These included how to draw a circle and a square having the same area, the value of the square root of two, and the approximate value of ‘pi’ which is calculated and corrected to five decimals.
