    Farhrenheit = 1.8 x (Celsius) + 32 8. The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. For example‚ if two sides of a right triangle have lengths 3 and 4‚ then the hypotenuse must have a length of 5. The integers 3‚ 4‚ and 5 together form a Pythagorean triple. There is an infinite number of such triples. Given two positive integers‚ m and n‚ where m > n‚ a Pythagorean triple can be generated by the following formulas:

    How We Use the Pythagorean Theorem in Everyday Life First‚ let’s discuss the inventor of the theorem before how we use it. Pythagoras of Samos is a very odd fellow but is very well known despite not have written anything in his lifetime so what we know about him comes from Historians and Philosophers. Though we know he was a Greek philosopher and mathematician mainly known for the Pythagorean Theorem that we all learned in 6th grade. (a2 + b2 = c2). His theorem states that that the square of

    Pythagorean Triples To begin you must understand the Pythagoras theorem is an equation of a2 + b2 = c2. This simply means that the sum of the areas of the two squares formed along the two small sides of a right angled triangle equals the area of the square formed along the longest. Let a‚ b‚ and c be the three sides of a right angled triangle. To define‚ a right angled triangle is a triangle in which any one of the angles is equal to 90 degrees. The longest side of the right angled triangle

    Pythagorean Triples Tammie Strohl MAT 126 David Gualco November 9‚ 2009 Pythagorean Triples Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the areas of the two squares formed along the two small sides of a right angled triangle equals the area of the square formed along the longest.  If a‚ b‚ and c are positive integers‚ they are together called Pythagorean Triples. The smallest such Pythagorean Triple is 3‚ 4 and 5. It can be seen that 32 + 42 = 52 (9+16=25). Here are some examples:

    Pythagorean Triples Ashley Walker MAT126 Bridget Simmons November 28‚ 2011 A Pythagorean triple is a triple of positive integers a‚ b‚ and c such that a right triangle exists with legs a‚ b‚ and hypotenuse c (Bluman‚ 2005). A Pythagorean triple is a triple of positive integers (a‚ b‚ c) where a2 + b2 = c2. A triple is simply a right triangle whose sides are positive integers. An easy way to generate Pythagorean triples is to multiply any known Pythagorean triple by an integer (any integer)

    LAST THEOREM I am going to do my project in the field of number theory. Number theory‚ a subject with a long and rich history‚ has become increasingly important because of its application to computer science and cryptography. The core topics of number theory are such as divisibility‚ highest common factor‚ primes‚ factorization‚ Diophantine equations and so on‚ among which I chose Diophantine equations as the specific topic I would like to go deep into. Fermat ’s Last Theorem states
