Many people think the Pythagorean Theorem is one of the most important theorems in.
I, however agree and disagree with that statement. I agree because if you are.
trying to figure out a side length or hypotenuse to a right triangle, like a fallen tree, it is probably.
the most helpful theorem. On the other hand if you have no need to find sides or a hypotenuse of.
a triangle, it is just another equation you have stored in your brain. Most people have no need use.
of this equation.
The Pythagorean Theorem is a very useful equation to know and understand if you are a.
builder, carpenter or a forest researcher. You can use it to find how high a latter will go up a wall.
so you know how high you can paint. It will help you figure out how long a support will need to.
be on a building. For example it can help you find the length of a fall tree. You want to know.
how much of the tree broke off and is now laying on the ground. All you have to measure is the.
distance from the trunk to the top of the tree and the height of the tree that is still standing. From.
there you can find the hypotenuse or fallen part of the tree. For problem like this the Pythagorean.
Theorem is the most helpful tool. The only disadvantage is it only works for right triangles.
My big disagreement with the Pythagorean Theorem is, it is dysfunctional. Not everything.
in the world is a right triangle. The Pythagorean Theorem only works for fight triangles. For.
example, if a carpenter puts a latter up on a tilted wall and wants to know how height latter goes. .
He will have no way of finding that because it is not a right triangle. Same with a fallen tree. The.
Pythagorean Theorem is only helpful for select problem and select jobs. For everything else in the.
world it unsuitable because it only works on the right triangles. Most people don't care about the.
lengths of triangles.
I would think that on average half the people in the world would have a use for the.
This was attributed to the Pythagoreans. ... Numbers to the Pythagoreans meant only whole numbers. ... However, there is a book, which gives 350 proofs on the Pythagorean Theorem. In fact, a United States president proved the theorem, and I have attached his proof to this report. ... This theorem was one of the greatest discoveries that had an everlasting impact on geometry. ...
He founded the Pythagorean brotherhood, a group of his followers whose beliefs and ideas were rediscovered during the Renaissance and contributed to the development of mathematics and Western rational philosophy. ... Among the basic tenets of the Pythagoreans are "The beliefs that reality, at its deepest level, is mathematical in nature; that philosophy can be used for spiritual purification; that the soul can rise to union with the divine; and that certain symbols have a mystical significance." ... His followers are credited with the development of the Pythagorean theorem in geometry and the...
He is well known all over the world for formulating the Pythagorean Theorem although its fundamental principles were already recognized earlier. The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. ...
Quotient Property of Square Roots - If aand b > 0: |a/b| = |a| |b| Pythagorean Theorem: If ÑABC is a right triangle with the right angle at C, then a2 + b2 = c2/ Factoring reverses the process, allowing you to write a sum as a product. ...
This movement emphasized the study of mathematics as a means to understanding all relationships in the natural world, and it was taught by Pythagoreans, the followers and believers of Pythagoras. ... BASIC DOCTRINES:- The Pythagoreans adhered to certain mysteries, similar in many ways to that of Orphism. ... The Pythagoreans also believed in immortality and in the transmigration of souls. ... Through these studies they established a scientific foundation for mathematics, for example in geometry the great discovery of the school was the hypotenuse theorem, or Pythagoras' theorem. (see be...
Art is a science of creativity and Science is an art of analysis and applications of physical Laws.Hence art and science are two sides of the same coin.The worth of a civilization cannot be truly determined by undermining either art or science because while art reflects the emotional maturity ,scie...

Revolutionizing music, Pythagoras" findings generated theorems and standards for musical scales, relationships, instruments and creative formation. ...
