How many words are in Pythagorean theorem?

The Pythagorean theorem is typically expressed in one concise statement: "In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides." This statement contains 24 words. However, the theorem is often summarized in the formula ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ), which is just seven characters long.


Formula used to calculated the length of the long side of a right triangle?

the formula is the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2


How to figure the length of one side of a triangle with only the length of the long side and some degrees?

you might be able to use tangent, sine, or cosine. you might be able to use the Pythagorean theorem, or you can used 30-60-90 triangle theorem or 45-45-90 triangle theorem


What will be the lenght of the diagonal piece of pipe if the lawn is a rectangle 15 feet long and 8 feet wide?

use pythagorean's theorem... 152 + 82 = c2 c = 17 the length of the pipe will be 17 feet long


How did the Babylonians use the Pythagorean Theorem?

The Babylonians used a form of the Pythagorean Theorem around 1800 BCE, as evidenced by clay tablets such as the YBC 7289. They understood the relationship between the lengths of the sides of right triangles, allowing them to calculate the length of the hypotenuse when the lengths of the other two sides were known. This practical application was crucial for land measurement and construction, demonstrating their advanced mathematical skills long before Pythagoras. Their knowledge was likely based on empirical observations rather than formal proofs.

Who is budhayana?

The value of "pi" was first calculated by Budhayana, and he explained the concept of what is known as the Pythagorean Theorem. He discovered this in the 6th century long before the European mathematician.

What to right on a pythagorean theorem paper?

First of all, when you talk about making up a paper with a pen or a computer, learn the difference between "right" and "write". It's important, and you can probably get it right without a spell-checker. Now, what to write in the paper: -- Introduction: Say "This paper will tell about the Pythagorean Theorem and how it's used." -- State the Pythagorean Theorem -- Two or three sentences about who Pythagoras was, and why we remember him after so many centuries. (He must have been pretty smart, and discovered stuff that we still use now.) -- Explain what his Theorem means. -- Make up one or two examples. -- It would really be great if you could find an example of where it's used by somebody on their real job, like maybe a surveyor or a carpenter, and give that example too in the paper. Don't forget to write that you went out and found it outside of school. That's extra credit for sure. -- Conclusion: State the Pythagorean Theorem again, and promise that you'll never forget it as long as you live.

What were Pythagoras' important contributions?

In a word, geometry. He also influenced Plato, Aristotle, and many other philosophers and mathematicians long after his death.He also established many geometrical theorems, including the Pythagorean Theorem.


How long is the diagonal of a 16 ft by 24 ft rectangle?

To find the answer, use Pythagorean theorem. You have a and b, and want c. c=square root of 16 squared plus 24 squared = 28.8444


Did James Garfield prove the Pythagorean theorem?

I don't think I could make the proof clear without a diagram, so you must check the related links to read it. I will say that it is algebraic in nature and is based on knowing how to find the area of a trapezoid. The first link is a student link and may not stay up for long. The second link contains several proofs of the Pythagorean theorem and you will have to hunt in it to find Garfield's proof, but it is there.


How was the pythagorean theorem discovered?

The Persians discovered the theory long before Pythagoras, but Pythagoras made it well known and proved it many times. He got the idea from the Egyptian rope-stretchers, of which you can ask another question for them.


In a swimming pool 70 ft long and 25 ft wide how many feet will be saved by swimming diagonally across the pool instead of along the sides?

Who invented the pythegorean theorem?

Actually, the theorem has been used long ago before mathematician called Pythagoras came along. It was previously already applied in Indian society. The theorem only came to be known as "Pythagoras Theorem" because he (or his students) were the first ones to construct a proof for the theorem.
