    the sum of the squares of two legs of a right triangle, a and b, is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, c. This can be written and shown as the equation, a2+b2=c2. Because a2+b2=c2, we can solve for the sides of the legs of the right triangles, in terms of this formula of the Pythagorean theorem. C=√(A2+B2) A=√(C2-B2) B=√(C2-A2) This diagram represents the Pythagorean theorem as well. Because the squares of each side of the right triangle are used in the theorem, this can be shown as

    The most common thing people associate the mathematician Pythagoras with is the Pythagorean Theorem that describes the relationship of the the sides of a right triangle, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Some know him as the first pure mathematician. (Mastin, 2010) His teachings come before other famous philosophers and thinkers, such as Plato and Aristotle. Who is Pythagoras and how did he impact the mathematical world of geometry? In order to answer the previous question, there must be an understanding

    Pythagorean Theorem Introduction The Pythagorean Theorem is a relation in Euclidean geometry among the three sides of an right angle. Pythagoras, a greek philosopher is credited for the discovery, but it is unsure who and therefore theorem is named after him. The formula is a2 + b2 = c2. History of the Mathematician behind the Pythagoras Theorem and the Pythagorean relationship. People are unsure whether the relationship was made either by Pythagoras or the Pythagoreans first proof, Pythagoras

    a rudimentary understanding of the Pythagorean Theorem as it pertains to the construction of triangles with whole number sides before the creation of the Pythagorean Theorem. An example lies in an ancient Egyptian construction of a rope with knots forming 12 evenly spaced segments along the length of the rope. They knew if a triangle having sides of 5, 4, and 3 segments was formed it would form a triangle containing a right angle. However, it is important to state that evidence has not been found

    number that counts the amount of objects that form when they are put together to form an equilateral triangle (a triangle with all equal sides). The most common object used to form a triangle are dots. When the dots create an equilateral triangle, the number of dots seen in the triangle represent the triangular number. Overall, the sequence is generated from a pattern of dots which form a triangle. The first row contains a single dot and each subsequent row contains more dots than the previous one

    present appearances throughout nature, mathematics, pop culture, and business. The Fibonacci Sequence is most important in the world of mathematics. It is found in other discoveries like Pascal’s triangle and Cassini identities. One area of mathematics that overlaps with the Fibonacci Sequence is the Golden Ratio which is typically used when discussing the ratio of distances (wolfram alpha). The ratio is approximately 1.6180. It is found by this formula φ= (1+√5)/2≈1.61803 . The ratio has been surrounded

    The Fibonacci numbers also known as the Fibonacci sequence is a set of numbers where after the first two numbers, every number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. It begins in most examples at one however it has been shown to start with zero, the first ten numbers in the sequence are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89. This sequence is an important mathematical figure that is seen in many other theorems in mathematics and also the surrounding natural world. This sequence first appears in
