Pythagoras Research Paper
Pythagoras of Samos
Many of Pythagoras math discoveries are unknown since the Greeks, during this time , did not believe in the usage of putting knowledge into books, secrecy was a significant factor to the Greeks. Although Pythagoras writings were not inscribed onto paper, his biography was recorded by other men on account of Pythagoras was viewed as a god-like figure in the eyes of many Greeks. However, the biography of Pythagoras is still very inaccurate the dates and facts of his life, amongst many recorded biographies, have difference in the years of Pythagoras life.
It has been known from many of the biographies that Pythagoras was born in Samos and had a really close relationship with his father whom he traveled a lot with. It is …show more content…
The most key factor of this theorem is the principle that the when the sum of the two legs of a triangle added up, they are equal to the hypotenuse, longest side, of the right angled triangle. Meaning that whatever the numbers are on the legs of a triangle the sum will always give you the length of the third side of a triangle. In addition, to this theorem Pythagoras also discovered that a square is made of two triangles in which lead him to the discovery of three regular solids. The most common usage of a pythagorean theorem is the following problem: If a right triangle has a leg with the length of three centimeters and the other with the length of four centimeters what is the hypotenuse? By now the answer should be common knowledge since it is the three, four, five rule of Pythagorean Theorem. The logic behind it is very simple, Pythagoras formulated the formula a^2 + b^2=c^2, in which case the c variable will always the the hypotenuse of a triangle and the a and b variables can be either or leg. The most challenging step of the process would be locating correctly each of the legs and plugging in the variable for the equation. In this case the leg could be a= 3, b=4 and c=?. So we plug into the formula 3^2 + 4^2= c^2 , the next process would be to square root the numbers. The formula would now look like this: 9+16= c^2. Next would be to add the numbers so the sum
