What is the proof of Basic propotionality theorem?

given: A triangle ABC with DE drawn parallel to BC

construction: produce EM and DN perpendicular to AD & AE respectively. Join DC & BE.

proof: I'll give it whenever i come to this site the next time

What is Pythagoras theory used for?

He came up with the Pythagoras theorem

In a right angled triangle the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the squares on the other two sides.

Builders make use of the theorem to make corners square. If you have piece of rope or chain 12 metres long and make a triangle on the ground where one side is 3 metres , another 4 and the longest 5 then a right angle will be formed between the 3 and 4 metre lengths.

Who did Pythagoras marry and did they have kids?

Pythagoras married one of his young disciples, Theano, at age 61, and had 5 children.

Did Pythagoras have any weird hobbies?

# Some think that Pythagoras actually stole his famous formula from the Babylonians (who had stolen it from the Indians).

2.He discovered square roots by comparing square piles of rocks and figured out the proportional interval of numbers between musical notes by listening to blacksmiths pounding on different sized anvils.

3. Pythagoras also started a weird religious commune with secretive doctrines involving geometric formulations. One of his inner circle of mathematikoi, Hippasos, came up with the concept of irrational numbers but it didn't fit well with Pythagoras' unique theology and it is said that he was executed on the master's orders.

4. Like some modern day vegans, Pythagoras believed that eating animal products was cannibalism because they might contain the trans-migrated souls of human ancestors.

5. The cult also refused to eat beans. Some historians think it is because they believed that a man only had so much "breath" in him and that any extra-curricular passing of gases shortened the lifespan. Others think it was because the beans were considered sacred in some way, perhaps because they were thought of as reincarnated people (human beans, in other words). One of the order was slaughtered by an angry mob who caught him when he refused to escape by crossing through a bean field for fear of trampling the delicate vegetables.

6. Pythogoras traveled far from his hometown of Samos and on one journey to Egypt was captured by the Persian army. He was taken as a prisoner to Babylon where he became the guest of Daius the Great. Interestingly, he spent much of his time visiting with the resident scholars, the Magi, around the time that Daniel (of the bible) was said to have been there. We'll never know if the two exchanged ideas and how much influence one had on the other.

7. His commune near Croton, Italy was eventually wiped out by a violent mob from the neighbouring town after a political dispute. Pythagoras, however, was not present at the time and lived out his life in safety and peace. He died at the ripe old age of 90. 8. Homosexuality was common in ancient Greece. Pythagoras probably initiated a sexual relationship with Abaris, his teacher in gratitude to the older man for teaching him the secrets of Scythian magic. 9. He believed that ones soul was going to be reincarnated. That is also what the Hindu religion tells as the truth. Pythagoras himself said that he had once before lived as a warrior in the Troja-war. 10.According to Pythagoras, a perfect number was 10.
