(white boxes with double - sided arrows for pairing)

Explanation:

• Thales is regarded as the father of geometry.
• Pythagoras is a Greek geometer who has a theorem named after him.

Answer:

• "regarded as the father of geometry" pairs with "Thales"
• "a Greek geometer who has a theorem named after him" pairs with "Pythagoras"
• "a mathematician who compiled basic geometric facts, or elements, into a textbook" pairs with "Euclid"
