Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Concept- Using the details provided about the Baudhayana theorem, we try to determine whether the statement of the theorem was referred to as the Sulv theorem or not.
The Baudhayana theorem's proof is first written down.
It reads, "In a Deerghchatursh (triangle), the chetra (square) of rajju (hypotenuse) is equal to the sum of squares of the parshwamani (base) and triyangmani" (perpendicular line).
In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the base and perpendicular, according to the Pythagoras theorem, as is evident from the statement.
The "Baudhayana Sulv Sutra '' or "Baudhayana Sulbasutra '' is renowned for including the Pythagoras theorem among other early mathematical discoveries. The Baudhayana Sulv Sutra, one of six manuscripts from the vedic "Baudhayana Sutras' ' that include daily rituals, arithmetic, dharma, and other topics, was composed circa 800 BC. The right angles were formed by ropes marked to give the triads 3,4,5 and 5,12,13 as

and

in the "Baudhayana Sulv Sutra'' example. Therefore, since the Baudhayana theory originated from the Sulv sutra, it is also known as the Sulv theorem.
As a result, the answer to the question's sentence is true.
Hence, the given statement is true.
