PYTHAGOREAN

THEOREM
By: Seba Elwaleed, Adam Omara,

Grade 8A
WHAT IS THE
PYTHAGOREAN
THEOREM?

In mathematics , the Pythagorean


theorem or Pythagoras' theorem is a
fundamental relation in Euclidean
geometry between the three sides of
a right triangle. It states that 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 on the other two
sides. The hypotenuse is known as C. 2
WHO FOUNDED IT?
It was founded and named by the Greek philosopher
Pythagorus born around 570 BC.
The theorem has been proved numerous times by
many different methods – possibly the most for any
mathematical theorem. The proofs are diverse,
including both geometric proofs and algebraic
proofs, with some dating back thousands of years.
The theorem can be generalized in various ways:
to higher- dimensional spaces, to spaces that are
not Euclidean, to objects that are not right triangles,
and to objects that are not triangles at all but n-
dimensional solids. The Pythagorean theorem has
attracted interest outside mathematics as a symbol
of mathematical abstruseness, mystique, or
intellectual power; popular references in literature,
plays, musicals, songs, stamps, and cartoons
abound.

WHAT IS THE
EQUATION?

The Pythagorean theorem is a


fundamental principle in geometry
that relates to right triangles. It
states that in a right triangle, the
square of the length of the
hypotenuse (the side opposite the
right angle) is equal to the sum of
the squares of the lengths of the
other two sides. Mathematically, the
Pythagorean theorem can be
expressed using the following
equation:a^2 + b^2 = c^2where
"a" and "b" are the lengths of the
two shorter sides (called the legs) of
the right triangle, and "c" is the
length of the hypotenuse.
THE EQUATION

C^2= a^2 + b^2 is the rule where c^2 is


the hypotenuse and a^2 & b^2 are the
other sides. The hypotenuse must always
be c^2.
To solve you must substitute and follow the
rule. For example, if we want to find the
hypotenuse of a right triangle and side a is
5 while side b is 3 then the equation would
be, c^2= 5^2 + 3^2.
Next step you will solve the exponents
which would be, c^2= 25+9 -> c^2= 34.
You will later take 34 to the other side with
C^2=
the √34 which
opposite is
operation. (Since its an
approximately
exponent 6.
its opposite would be square root)
So the hypotenuse is 6.

OTHER EQUATIONS
If you want to find side a or b the
equation would be a^2= c^2-b^2.
If side c was 13 and side b was 12
the substitution would be->
a^2=13^2-12^2 -> a^2= 169-
144. Which means side a is square
root 25 or 5.

REVERSE PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM

The converse of pythagorean


theorem states that if the square
of a side is equal to the sum of
the square of the other two sides,
then triangle must be right angle
triangle.
To find it you must to the basic
Pythagorean theorem, c^2=
a^2+b^2.
Where you substitute all except
side c and solve. ( the triangle will
have all sides given) At the end
you will see if both side c are the
same, if they are then it is a right
triangle if it isn’t then it is not.
