Euclid is known as the father of geometry for his influential work, 'Elements', which laid the foundation for geometry and mathematics.

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b).

Archimedes' principle states that an object submerged in a fluid experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
