Where can I find information on the career that Pythagoras had as a teacher?

A. This is a difficult question! Pythagoras' own writings (if there were any) have not survived to the present time. The best sources besides the man himself would be the members of his group (read the Wikipedia page on "Pythagoreans"). Unfortunately, the Pythagoreans were more than a group of math students. They were what we might call today a religious cult. For them, math was mixed up with philosophy, mysticism, and religion. Secrecy was a part of their cult. The best people who could have written about Pythagoras' math teaching probably didn't, because his math teaching was bound up with his mystical teaching and some of that was secret.

How can I use the Pythagoras theorem to solve a maths problem?
Q. I'm in year 10, and in my maths class we're working on Area problems, however I've run into a (metaphorical) brick wall trying to solve one particular problem: A conical tent has a base radius of two metres, and a height of five metres. Find the slant height, s, to two decimal places. I tried asking my family, and they all told me to use Pythagoras, but I don't *actually* know how to use it. Could someone help please?
Asked by Zoetrope - Thu Mar 29 05:43:01 2007 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments
A. okay, youll need a calculator for this. Note that the height, base radius and slant height are all straight lines. Even more, the height and base radius are at a right angle. So, the answer is sqr (2^2 + 5^2) =sqr29= 5.39 (2 decimal places) BTW, a^2 + b^2 = c^2

A. It is best to use the Pythagoras theorem when you have been given a minimum of two sides, and the question requires you to find the other length. Also the Pythagoras theorem is based on a right-angled triangle. If the question requires you to find an angle, or find the length of a side given an angle, then use Trigonometric theorems. Hope this helps.

Pythagoras theorem. What if the shapes on the sides of the triangle are not squares?

A. I think that you are asking whether the two smaller areas will still add up to the same as the larger area. Yes, it will work if the shapes on the three sides are all mathematically similar to one another. For example, if you have three semi-circles on the sides of the right-angled triangle instead of three squares, then the area of the two smaller semi-circles will still add up to the area of the larger semi-circle. This works because the three squares in the classic version of the theorem are all similar to one another, as are the three semi-circles. Therefore the ratio of the areas of the semi-circles to their corresponding squares will be the same in each of the three cases. In other words, the smallest semi-circle area compared to… [cont.]

A. From Pythagoras we observe that an answer to a problem in science may give raise to new questions. For each door we open, we find another closed door behind it. Eventually these doors will be also be opened and reveal answers in a new dimension of thought. A sprawling tree of progressively complex knowledge evolves in such manner. This Hegelian recursion, which is in fact a characteristic of scientific thought, may or may not have been obvious to Pythagoras. In either way he stands at the beginning of it.

How do I find the unknown length of a triangle without using Pythagoras?
Q. Hi I have a triangle with two sides which are 10cm each and I have to work out the third side - Its not a right angle triangle and I can't use a calculator?? Its the base that I have to work out. (I don't have the height either) I can't use Sin, Cos or Tan
Asked by KitKat29 - Mon Apr 20 02:41:44 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Well, it either has to be an isosceles triangle or an equilateral triangle. And by that rule about side lengths of triangles all adding up or something we know that it has to be less than 20cm b/c otherwise it would flatten out into a line. Other than this, I'm not sure what to do since you're not allowed to use Sin, Cos or Tan, which I'm assuming means you can you Csc, Sec, or Cot. And I'm guessing that you also can't use the law of sines or the law of cosines, but I'm pretty sure that you would need at least one angle measure for either of those. Anyways, good luck with this one!

For example, the Pythagorean Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 or remember SohCahToa...sine is opposite over hypotenuse, cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, and tangent is opposite over adjacent. Now, practice solving problems using your organized information. Good luck...
