Beyond Pythagoras
Pythagoras is the study of right angle triangles, in order to find out certain lengths, by looking at adjacent lengths. I have started off with the preliminary triangles that are given. I then wish to move onto other families of Pythagorean triples. I shall retrieve simple information regarding these triangles. Once I have found these I shall place all my information into tables: ¤ Area of the shape (½ ab= area² ) After I have retrieved the information I shall interrogate the table in order to find patterns and formulae. Once I believe that I have found all the formulae for the preliminary problem and have proven algebraically that they work, only then will I move onto an extension task. In the extension task I hope to see patterns in different families of Pythagorean triples such as: I shall also look into the 3, 4, 5 rule and see whether all triples are a basis of these or just some of them are. “n” Small Medium Large Perimeter Area
2x2 + 2xy + y2 = x2 + 2xy + 2xy + 4y2 Also if you do as above but subtract one you get b
