    At about twenty centuries ago there was an amazing discovery about right angled triangles: “In a right angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.” It is called Pythagoras Theorem and can be written in one short equation: a²+b²=c² where c is the longest side of triangle and a and b are the other two sides. Pythagoras was born in the island of Samos in 570 BC in Greek in the eastern Agean. He was the son of Mnesarchus and his mother's name…

    We can easily convert this into Cartesian form by replacing z by x+iy |(x+iy)-(-3 +2i)|=5 |(x+3) + i(y-2)|=5 √(〖(x+3)〗^2+〖(y-2)〗^2 ) =5 or 〖(x+3)〗^2+〖(y-2)〗^2=25 Which is the exact form of a Cartesian equation of a circle with a center of (-3, 2) and a radius of 5 We could check if a particular point lies on the circle Ex. z2=1-3i Substituting into the equation of the circle, with z replaced by z2=1-3i |(1-3i) - (-3 + 2i)|=5 |4-5i|=5 √(4^2+〖(-5)〗^2 ) =5 41=5, which is not true, thus z2 does not…

    The theorem used to find the hypotenuse, adjacent, or opposite sides of a triangle is also used in Euclidian Geometry. “A” squared plus “B” squared equals “C” squared is the formula used in the theorem. For example, we are given two numbers in the sides of a triangle; if we are given the adjacent and opposite sides, and we must figure out the hypotenuse, we will be required to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The two numbers…

    in a Triangle Definition of sinα in a Triangle is the following statement: For any acute angle α, we draw a right triangle that includes α. The sine of α, abbreviated sin α, is the ratio of the length of the opposite this angle to the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. If we simplify we get a formula which says: It is shown in a diagram below. We can see immediately that this definition has a weak point. It does not tell us exactly which right triangle to draw. There are many right…

    non-degenerate triangle then due to Euler we have an Inequality stated as and the equality holds when the triangle is equilateral. This ubiquitous inequality occurs in the literature in many different equivalent forms [4] and also Many other different simple approaches for proving this inequality are known. (some of them can be found in [2], [3], [5], [17], and [18] ). In this article we present a proof for this Inequality based on two basic lemmas, one is on the fact “Among all the pedal’s…
