No, math like this explicitly cannot be copyrighted, at least in most countries (I don't know about every single one).
>what will happen IF something like the Pythagorean theorem is being copyrighted?
It would just be a huge mess and not really be enforcable, and if it was enforced would cause all sorts of problems, which is why math isn't copyrightable in the first place
