Pythagorean theorem

amount to 19?” (HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS, n.d.). Originated from the Greeks, comes the Pythagorean Theorem. This equation is use to find the longest side of a right triangle A2 + B2 = C2 (hypotenuse). Also coming from the Pythagoras is the belief that a triangle, having three sides is equal to 180 degrees. Two of the well- known name in math is Euclid and Archimedes. Euclid wrote thirteen books of geometrical theorems, while Archimedes figured out calculations of volume and surface area of a…

If Ahmed used string and tied it to the Castle Rock point and labeled it as point “A” on paper it would be basically 2x + 6 paces. With this being the radius you will know that it is the same anyway you fit this from the circle. So to find the Treasure we will use “C”. Vanessa will use her compass to find north from Castle Rock. From there she will walk “X” paces in a straight line northward. At the end of her distance she will call this point “B”. Vanessa will now turn 90 degrees to the right…

isosceles right triangle with side lengths of integers a, b, and c. The ratio of the hypotenuse to a leg is represented by $c:b$. \item Assume a, b, and c are in the smallest possible terms (i.e. they have no common factors). \item By the Pythagorean theorem: $c^2 = a^2+b^2 = b^2+b^2…

One of my favorite ways to use technology to engage students is through videos and songs to help them grasp difficult or unfamiliar concepts; this could be a rap about the Pythagorean theorem or a short film on life in Nazi Germany during World War II. Providing students with visual and auditory input in addition to traditional learning styles allows children of multiple intelligences to find aspects of the lesson they connect with…

Changing Our School Gold Beach High School has some good to it being in a small town, but because it’s in a small town it also has some issues that could be changed to make a huge difference. If I could change three things about GBHS and how things were run the first thing would be adding more classes for students to take. Doing this would help add classes that are more relevant to students and they could learn what they wanted to. The next thing I would change is how long the school day was and…

Hypatia was born in Alexandria, Egypt at the fourth century around 350 – 370 AD. Her father was Theon of Alexandria, a great philosopher and mathematician. He was the last attested member of the Alexandrian museum. Hypatia was raised by her father in an educated environment in an era that was not usual for women to learn and be educated. She was an intellectual teacher, philosopher, mathematician, astronomer and inventor Although Hypatia’s works did not stay preserved until now, we know a…

Nikhita Guntu and Laya Biddala Archimedes Background Information: Archimedes, (born c. 287 bce, Syracuse, Sicily,—died 212/211 bce, Syracuse), the most-famous mathematician and inventor in ancient Greece. Archimedes was the son of the mathematician and astronomer named Phidias. There is very little information left behind on Archimedes’ family. Some say he came from a noble family, while others claim he was related to the King of Syracuse. However, evidence shows that Archimedes traveled to…

series. He made many in depth analytics in order for the aim to solve various mathematical problems by bringing to light new and novel ideas that gave impetus to progress of game theory. He was such a mathematical genius that he discovered his own theorems of different kinds. Ramanujan stands upright most of the time, he is one of the greatest minds who ever been born on Earth. in Mathematics, nothing prevented him to live in the realm of Mathematics. And in this remarkable career as a…

opened the book once more. PROOFS OF THE THEOREM, one chapter was titled. I groaned and shook my head. This was really the book he had wanted. “This is crazy.” I said to myself before leaving to collect more…

knowledge in natural and mathematical sciences. He gathered around a group of like-minded people, mostly aristocrats, and created a secret circle. The members of the circle studied various issues of philosophy and mathematics. Based on their ideas, the Pythagoreans conducted research work in mathematics. They combine numbers and, giving them a mystical meaning, divide them into numbers of good - odd numbers; evil numbers: perfect - each of them equal to the sum of their divisors…
