This week we will be learning about Pythagoras, one of the first Greek mathematical thinkers.
His famous Pythagorean Theorem (Pythagoras theorem) found out something amazing to do with right angled triangles. Can you find out what it was? Write it on the blog!
The Pythagorean Theorem is a theorem in geometry which deals with the lengths of the sides of a right angle. The theorem states that in a right-angled triangle the area of the square on the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares of the other two sides that is

The Pythagoras Theorem is a method used to figure out the missing measure of a right angle triangle. For an example, if there was a right angle triangle and the base was 15cm and the perpendicular line was 8cm and you had to work out how much the hypotenuse line was, you would do 15 squared add 8 squared. 8 squared is 64 and 15 squared is 225 and adding them together is 289 then you work out the square route of 289 and that is 17 so the hypotenuse line is 17cm.

He is remembered for what has become known as Pythagoras Theorem that for any right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side, opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides.

The Pythagoras Theorem explained.
ReplyDeleteThe side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse line. The Base (A in the diagram), plus Hight (B in the diagram) squared, is equal to the hypotenuse square (C in the diagram.
If A is 3cm and B is 4cm to calculate C, 3cm Squared is 9, and 4cm squared 16, the next step is 9 + 16 = 25, C is 5cm because 5 x 5 is = 25.Arya

Something amazing about the right angle is that opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse of the right triangle. The two shorter sides are usally called legs. This formula is called the Pythagorean theorem in hounor of Pythagoras

Very little is known about Pythagoras's life. He is thought to have been born on the Greek island of Samos, and travelled widely in his youth, visiting Egypt and Persia. He settled in the city of Crotone in southern Italy. There he began teaching and soon had a clutch of students who lived a structured life of study and exercise, inspired by a philosophy based around mathematics. This circle came to be known as the Pythagoreans. by mushtaq
ReplyDeleteThe Pythagoras Theorem is a way to work out the length of the hypotenuse on a right angled triangle. The hypotenuse is the longest side on a right angled triangle and is always on the opposite to the right angle. The theory is that a2 + b2 =c2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides of the triangle. For example if a is 3 and b is 4, a squared equals 9 and b squared equals 16. The sum of these is 25, so c squared equals 25. The square root of c equals 5, so the length of the hypotenuse is 5.

This triangle is commonly know as it has a 90 degrees , the symbol that shows this is a little square in the corner of the angle. the part on the right is how it gets its name right angle that`s why it is called that.

The amazing thing about right angle is that the longest side is called hypotenuse. The square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Example; if the hypotenuse is 5 ,the square of 5 is 25. Then the other sides will be 4 and 3. which means that 4 squares means 16 add by the squares of 3 which is 9. add 9 +16 equals to 25, which is the squares of 5 that is hypotenuse.

The right angle is called the hypotenuse of a right triangle the short sides are called the legs of the right triangle. the form is said as Pythagorean. BY MISHCA
ReplyDeleteHe found out about the right angle that if it's opposed side it's called hypotenuse also he found the right angle himself
ReplyDeleteThe Pythagorean theorem states that every right angled triangles hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the other two sides squared.
ReplyDeleteA2+B2=C2.
By Kavin
that, for any right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side, opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides (or “legs”).

The Pythagorean Theorem has an opposite sides of an square or something like that and it is maybe a area of it.There are 2 short legs or is lines.Also there are some steps of the triangle that they used to do.

The mathmation, Pythagoras discovered the properties of a right-angle triangle. Like if we had 5 squared, it would equal 25 and 12 squared, it would equal 144. Also, 144+25=169 so you must divide 13 by 169. That would equal 13 because the square root of 169 is 13. So now you know what the Pythagoras theorem is and the method is still used today.

Pythagoras theorem is a technique used to calculate the length of the 3 sides of a right angled triangle using the method of A squared plus B squared equals to C squared (c is the side opposite the right angle and also the longest side of the triangle known as the hypotenuse).

The the amazing fact about right angles is that on the right angle the opposite angle is called hypotenuse which is the right triangle.On the angle the 2 shorter lines are called the legs.This method was from the ancient Greeks.They called it the Pythagorean theorem in hounor which is basically Pythagoras.
