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…
The Pythagorean Theorem is comprised of a fairly simple formula that only requires us to know some basic concepts of right triangles and the theory behind exponents in order to have all the necessary knowledge for its application. The formula of the Pythagorean Theorem can be expressed symbolically in the…
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: 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…
