TOPICS: Euclid’s Proof Theorem Proof Prove Theorem Euclid was a Greek mathematician and geometrician who lived from 325 to 265 BC and who formulated one of the most famous and simplest proofs about the Pythagorean Theorem. What Euclid demonstrated was that the area of the square that has the hypotenuse…
TOPICS: Pythagorean Theorem Concepts Uses of the Pythagorean Theorem To really understand the Pythagorean Theorem we have to be clear on some concepts. For example, it only applies to right triangles; in other words, triangles that have a right angle. We also have to know what the names given…
Before we talk about the definition of the Pythagorean Theorem, we should remember two basic ideas from mathematics and specifically geometry: The definition of a right triangle: in simple terms, a right triangle is a triangle that has one of its internal angles measuring 90°. The sides of a right…
Although the Pythagorean Theorem was discovered many, many years ago, we continue to be surprised that even today there are more and more diverse fields that require, in one way or another, knowledge of this theorem. Pythagoras was a philosopher and mathematician in ancient Greece and among his many discoveries…
Among the many mathematical formulas whose discovery drastically changed history, the Pythagorean Theorem is perhaps the most important. And there are historical records which indicate that knowledge of the Pythagorean Theorem existed even before the Christian era. To understand the Pythagorean Theorem, you don’t need to have a high skill…
TOPICS: What Is the Pythagorean Theorem About The study of the Pythagorean Theorem was done thanks to the Pythagorean School, a sect made up of individuals from the 6th century BC with vast knowledge in mathematics, astronomy and philosophy, whose main believe was that everything that surrounds us is related…
The most well-known and widely used proof of the Pythagorean Theorem is the one which relates the areas of the squares that have, as their sides, the two legs and the hypotenuse of the triangle. We have referenced this proof in an older post where we have also provided a…
