TOPICS: Right Angle Leg Legs Pythagoras Formula Hypotenuse Right Triangle Next we’re going to look at the formula of the Pythagorean Theorem, because of all the knowledge that Pythagoras left us regarding the proportions of the sides of a right triangle, without a doubt the most important is the…
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…
If we want to understand how the Pythagorean Theorem works, we have to understand certain mathematical concepts that are related to it and without which it would be complicated or even impossible to understand the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Among the main points to keep in mind before understanding…
Proving the veracity of the characteristic expression of the Pythagorean Theorem is a task as ancient as the discovery of the theorem itself. Today there are many ways to prove that the Pythagorean Theorem is completely valid, some of which are more famous than others. In this post, we’ll discuss…
TOPICS: Calculate Leg Calculate Hypotenuse Calculate One Side Sample Exercises Worked Examples Solutions Of all the Pythagorean Theorem problems we might be given, one of the most common is where we are asked to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle knowing the measurements of both legs, or where we…
TOPICS: Squares Theorem Proofs Exercises Test Graphic Representation Next we’ll look at the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Although the equation that this theorem is known for is very popular a2 + b2 = C2 where C is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs, the proof of…
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…
