    PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM More than 4000 years ago‚ the Babyloneans and the Chinese already knew that a triangle with the sides of 3‚ 4 and 5 must be a right triangle. They used this knowledge to construct right angles. By dividing a string into twelve equal pieces and then laying it into a triangle so that one side is three‚ the second side four and the last side five sections long‚ they could easily construct a right angle. A Greek scholar named Pythagoras‚ who lived around 500 BC‚ was also fascinated

    Pythagorean Theorem

    • 1149 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In mathematics‚ the Pythagorean theorem — or Pythagoras’ theorem — is a relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of a right triangle (right-angled triangle). In terms of areas‚ it states: In any right-angled triangle‚ the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle). The theorem can be written as an equation relating the lengths

    Pythagorean Theorem Diana Lorance MAT126 Dan Urbanski March 3‚ 2013 Pythagorean Theorem In this paper we are going to look at a problem that can be seen in the “Projects” section on page 620 of the Math in our World text. The problem discusses Pythagorean triples and asks if you can find more Pythagorean triples than the two that are listed which are (3‚4‚ and 5) and (5‚12‚ and 13) (Bluman‚ 2012). The Pythagorean theorem states that for any right triangle‚ the sum of the squares of the length

    A Brief History of the Pythagorean Theorem Just Who Was This Pythagoras‚ Anyway? Pythagoras (569-500 B.C.E.) was born on the island of Samos in Greece‚ and did much traveling through Egypt‚ learning‚ among other things‚ mathematics. Not much more is known of his early years. Pythagoras gained his famous status by founding a group‚ the Brotherhood of Pythagoreans‚ which was devoted to the study of mathematics. The group was almost cult-like in that it had symbols‚ rituals and prayers. In addition

    The Pythagorean theorem (A^2 + B^2 = C^2) has been impacting all types of people and careers since it was first realized during Ancient Greece times. It is one of the most widely recognized theorems in the mathematics community‚ and used much more than the average person knows: whether you need need to know the dimensions of a bag or you need find the distance from location to another‚ the Pythagorean theorem can be used. Everyone who was taught this theorem in their first year of algebra continues

    mathematics that developed from simple measurements. A theorem is the most important result in all of elementary mathematics. It was the motivation for a wealth of advanced mathematics‚ such as Fermat’s Last Theorem and the theory of Hilbert space. The Pythagorean Theorem asserts that for a right triangle‚ the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. There are many ways to prove the Pythagorean Theorem. A particularly simple one is the scaling relationship

    4.14 TRIANGLES Triangles are three-sided shapes that lie in one plane. Triangles are a type of polygons. The sum of all the angles in any triangle is 180º. Triangles can be classified according to the size of its angles. Some examples are : Acute Triangles An acute triangle is a triangle whose angles are all acute (i.e. less than 90°). In the acute triangle shown below‚ a‚ b and c are all acute angles. Sample Problem 1: A triangle has angles 46º‚ 63º and 71º. What type of triangle is this? Answer:
