How did Pythagoras make his discoveries?
He spent years calculating and decalculating until he created the pythagoream theorem
What three pursuits did Pythagoras dedicate his life to?
Pythagoras dedicated his life to philosophy, mathematics and religion. He was well known for his philosophic writings and his advances in mathematics. He also founded the Pythagorean brotherhood which was religious in nature. The brotherhood developed principles that influenced Plato and Aristotle.
Can you state the Pythagorean Theorem not just the formula?
In a right-angled triangle the area of the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares of the other two sides.
Why is the Pythagoras theory true?
So I assume you are talking about In any right triange, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle It is "true" just because it is. We can prove that it is true in many many ways. In fact, there are entire books filled with various proofs. Here is a link for you with a many easy to understand visual proofs.
What are facts about the Greek scholar Pythagoras?
Pythagoras was born in Samos, in Ionia, around 570 BC. His father was Mnesarchus and his mother may have been named Pythias (his birth name was associated with the Pythian or Delphic worship of Apollo).
What is the weirdest fact bout Pythagoras?
Well I think everyone has a different opinion but my personal opinion is that he was born with only one testicle
Pythagoras invented the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the two shorter sides in a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
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.
How did Pythagoras discover the Pythagorean theorem?
Pythagorus discovered the theorem a2 + b2 = c2 via a math proof, though this is historically unclear according to Roger Penrose's book The Road to Reality.
What country was Pythagoras from?
Pythagoras was born in the country of Samos, but spent most of his formative years in Egypt.
