What was the cause of Pythagoras death?
IT is believed that Pythagoras fled from the city to Metapontum and died of self-starvation. Another theory is that he was killed along with his followers. There is no accurate account of his death, however.
How did Pythagoras believe the world could be best understood?
by the same principles inherent in mathematical thinking
Did Pythagoras discover the earth is round?
Although nobody knows for sure who first made the discovery that the earth is round, Pythagoras is indeed regarded as being the first recorded person to make the claim that the earth is round.
Perfect octave.
Why is it difficult to determine the precise findings of Pythagoras?
Because Pythagoras was unknown until he became famous for his findings of mathematics. He was determined to find out more.. and he started to get more ideas for his findings of more mathematical problems and findings answers for those problems.
Which of these best describes the hypotenuse-angle theorem?
The theorem is best described "If the hypotenuse and an acute angle of a right triangle
are equal respectively to the corresponding parts of another right triangle, then the triangles are congruent."
Did Pythagoras only eat beans?
Pythagoras and his followers would not eat beans as they would only eat "pure food" and beans did not fall under this category.
How are Pythagoras' theorem and Fermat's last theorem related?
Pythagoras' theorem proves that if you draw a square on the longest side (the hypotenuse) of a right-angled triangle, its area is the same as the areas of the squares drawn on the two shorter sides, added together. See 'Pythagoras' theorem' under 'Sources and related links' below.
Pythagoras' theorem holds for any right-angled triangle. But of special interest to Fermat were right-angled triangles where all the three sides were whole number lengths. These special lengths are known as Pythagorean triples.
Here are some Pythagorean triples:-
(3,4,5) (5, 12, 13) (7, 24, 25) (8, 15, 17)
In each case, the square of each of the smaller numbers is equal to the square of the largest number.
Fermat said that if instead of constructing squares (two dimensional figures) on the sides of right-angled triangles, you constructed cubes (three dimensional analogs of squares), or hypercubes (four dimensional analogs) or higher dimensional cube-analogs, there are no equivalents to the Pythagorean triples. In other words, there are no whole number values for 3, 4 or more dimensional analogs of the square.
How do you find the missing length of a triangle using Pythagoras?
The length of side A squared plus the length of side B sqaured equals the missing side of the triangle squared. So i.e. if side A is 4 and side B is 3 then 4x4 which is 16 plus 3x3 which is 9 equals 25 and the square root of 25 equals 5. So in conclusion the missing side equals 5.
How did Pythagoras discover Venus's?
He didn't discover Venus. Venus is one of the brightest objects in the sky (after the sun and moon), so it's been observed ever since cave men looked up.
Pythagoras was a Greek from Samos and he was likely a follower of the Greek pantheon of gods. Many Muslims would later use his geometric proofs as a basis for more complicated math such as trigonometry or algebra, but he was not a Muslim.
How did Pythagoras help us today?
because of pythagorus nobody would have know about right angles and everything so if hehadnt discovered that then people would be able to fit carpets build buildings tcnacly the world wouldnt be round without right angles
What did Pythagoras do besides math?
Pythagoras was philosopher, mathematician and founder of a religious group
What is the hypotenuse leg therom?
If two right triangles have the hypotenuse and leg of one equal respectively
to the hypotenuse and leg of the other, then the triangles are congruent.
Does 1 plus 1 using the Pythagoras' Theorem equal 2?
The Pythagerum Thyrum doesn't say anything about adding numbers.
It tells how the lengths of the sides of a right triangle are related.
According to the thyrum, 1, 1, and 2 can't be the lengths of the sides
of a right triangle, because
(1)2 + (1)2 is not equal to (2)2 .
its the therom that states that a2+b2=c2 :). it is used for triangles. i dont know about other shapes. but is for triangles
