Is a man natural-born logician?
yes, it is,because man is a natural born
can i have an explanation on this?
Why is giving life to your child important?
Well, that's the only way we keep the species of humans going. The baby never asks to be born. This is a moral question, too. If you are going to do the deed that can result in a birth then you must be prepared to give life or make other choices.
What make pythagorean brotherhood collapse?
Because it's claimed they couldn't come to an agreement to work out the length of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle when each of its sides is 1 unit in length:-
12+12 = 2 and there is no answer to the square root of 2 because it's an irrational number
Why is Pythagoras theorem only a theory that can not be proven?
It can be proven to an extent but if the sides of a right angle triangle are equal in length then using Pythagoras' theorem is impossible to exactly find the length of its hypotenuse which will always be an irrational number that can't be determined.
It is a theorem, not a theory. They are not the same. A theorem is shown to be true based on axioms, what is already known to be true. It does not need to be proven using a scientific method.
How was Pythagoras' theorem used?
Pythagoras' theorem states that for a right angle triangle when its hypotenuse is squared it is equal to the sum of its base squared plus its height squared.
a2+b2 = c2 whereas a is the base, b is the height and c is the hypotenuse which is the longest side
How did al-Haytham build on Pythagoras' ideas?
Al-Haytham, also known as Alhazen, built on Pythagoras' ideas in the field of optics by further developing the theory of light and vision. He expanded on Pythagoras' concept of the mathematical relationships governing light reflection and refraction. Al-Haytham's work laid the foundation for modern optics and the understanding of how light behaves when it interacts with different surfaces and mediums.
Who is the wife of Pythagoras and what is her contribution?
His wife name is Theano. She contributed services to him in becoming world famous mathematician.
Which five virtues did Confucius stress?
The Five Constant Virtues of Confucianism are benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faithfulness.
Is the Pythagoras theorem the same thing as the golden ratio?
No, they are not the same, but relate to each other. The medial right triangle of this "golden" pyramid, demonstrated the Pythagorean theorem through the relationship of the two. Ancient Greek mathematicians first studied the golden ratio because of its frequent appearance in geometry. The division of a line into "extreme and mean ratio" (the golden section) is important in the geometry of regular pentagrams and pentagons. The Greeks usually attributed discovery of this concept to Pythagoras.
What are the rules Pythagoras had gave his members?
He said you must watch Mary Pickford's Films. Including Sparrow (1926)
Why was Pythagoras' important in the field of math?
Pythagoras's work was important in the field of math because he invented the pythagorean theorem, which explained square units in a triangle.
How do you show square root of 3 on number line without using Pythagoras theorem?
I would show it at location 1.732 , even if I was allowed to use Pythagoras.
