What is the education of Pythagoras?
Pythagoras was well educated, and he played the lyre throughout his lifetime, knew poetry and recited Homer. He was interested in mathematics, philosophy, astronomy and music, and was greatly influenced by Pherekydes (philosophy), Thales (mathematics and astronomy) and Anaximander (philosophy, geometry).
How do you make Pythagoras theorem model?
First construct a right angle triangle with dimensions of:
base = 3 units, height = 4 units and hypotenuse = 5 units
Then construct 3 exterior squares on each of the sides with the given dimensions.
Sub-divide these squares into smaller squares so that the base has 9, the height has 16 and the hypotenuse has 25
Pythagoras' theorem says: base2+height2 = hypotenuse2
Congratulations, your visual model proves that this is true.
What are some unique factors of Pythagoras?
Some unique factors of Pythagoras is that he wasn't interested in math but formed the school that is of great mathematical study in its time.
He followed a list of rules that pythagoreans followed, some without explanation; he would not eat meat, and stuff.
What were the contributions and achievements of Pythagoras?
I believe he's the one who developed the pythagorean theorem, where if you know 2 sides of a right triangle you can find the third side using a2 + b2 = c2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse.
Can the Pythagoras theorem be proven emperically?
- Using a protractor make a 90o Angle
- Draw 2 lines (Sides A & B) that make up the 90o Angle you measured out in Step 1
- Draw Side A - 5 cm in length
- Draw Side B - 8 cm in length
- Draw Side C - the Hypotenuse (A line that Connects Sides A and B) - But Do NOT Measure This with your ruler YET.
- Now since we need to PROVE that the Theorem is Correct, We have to Plug the length of the Sides A and B into the Theorem's Formula.
- 52 + 82 = C2 (WHERE C2 is the Length of Side C/The Hypotenuse Squared)
- So Now we have the Equation: C2 = 25 + 64 = 89
- Now we need to Find what C equals, we do this by taking the Square Root of 89, and Since we know C is a Positive Number (Since its the Length of Side C), we can ignore the Negative portion of the Square Root and So We Know:
- C = 9.434 cm
- LAST STEP, NOW You MEASURE - with your Ruler, the Hypotenuse (Side C), and you will see that it equals 9.434 cm; therefore we have just Proved Empirically that the Pythagorean Theorem is Correct.
indeed pythagorus was gay in fact he was homosexual there is your answer
Timeline of major events during Pythagoras's lifetime roughly 580-500BC?
pythagoras was awesome yep yep!!
Did Pythagoras play an instrument?
yes he did! i am not sure which one but he did as a matter of fact.
i hope this helps you on your research. :)
When did Pythagoras make his school?
Pythagoras didn't make a school,
Other people made the school in honor of Pythagoras
What is the Pythagoras triangle?
Any right angled triangle
The Theorem state that the "Sum of the square on the hypotenuse (C) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides (A and B)"
That is C2=A2+B2
The formula for the Pythagorean Theorem is a2+b2=c2 :] The Pythagorean Theorem is finding the measurements in a right triangle. The side of the triangle across from the right angle is called the hypotenuse and the two other sides are called the legs :3 I hope I could help! <3
Did Pythagoras ever get an award?
He has not won any awards that we know of, being so old. However, he does have a prize named after him called the "Pythagoras Prize", given to mathematicians that were outstanding in their field.
