and the Pythagorean Theorem PYTHAGORAS and the Pythagorean Theorem a² + b² = c²

Objective/Intended Audience Objectives: (SOL 8.11) The student will verify the Pythagorean Theorem by measuring then applying the theorem to find the missing length of a side of a right triangle when the lengths of the other two sides are given. The student will increase his knowledge about the life and contributions of Pythagoras. Intended Audience: Eighth Grade Math Students

Lesson Objectives Who was Pythagoras? What was important about his life? Why was he famous? What is the Pythagorean Theorem? How is his Theorem applied?

Pythagoras’s Roots and Routes Homonyms are cool! Pythagoras lived from about 560 to 500 B.C. He was born on the Aegean island of Samos, but traveled to Egypt, Babylon, India, and Syria to further his studies. Eventually, he settled in the Greek colony of Croton in Southern Italy. (see map for details)

Babylon India Other Places Pyhtagoras Visited: Birthplace of Pythagoras Other Places Pyhtagoras Visited: Babylon India

Croton Croton was a Greek colony located on the southern tip of Italy. In this colony, Pythagoras established the Pythagorean School.

Syria Pythagoras traveled widely as a child with his father who was a merchant. It was in Syria that he was tutored by the Chaldean.

Egypt It was here that Pythagoras studied the pyramids to learn more about Geometry. His studies helped him to develop his theorem.

Babylon It is believed that Pythagoras’s travel to Babylon advanced his knowledge in astronomy because of their expertise at the time. The Pythagoreans were the first to use the term “cosmos” to mean an orderly universe that could be expressed in numbers. Certain numbers were given mystical or holy values.

India Because of his time spent in India, Pythagoras adopted the Hindu belief that souls transmigrate after death.

Important Contributions Pythagoras found mathematical relationships as the essence of all things. He believed that the earth was spherical and that the sun, moon, and planets have movements of their own. This contributed to the discovery that the earth revolved around the sun. He’s credited with developing the Pythagorean Theorem which is a formula that is used to determine the lengths of the sides of right triangles. His discoveries laid the foundation for all subsequent developments in Geometry.

The Pythagorean Order In Croton, Pythagoras set up a school which was based on a religious order, or brotherhood, that was made up of his followers. It was known as the Pythagorean Order, and they were expected to not eat meat. They also had to wear simple clothing and go barefoot.

The Pythagorean Order Students at the Pythagorean School had to live by strict rules since they all strove to create pure minds and bodies. They all thought that the mind could be purified through studying Geometry, mathematics, music, and astronomy.

The Pythagorean Order Women were allowed to join the Order, but they were kept separated from the rest of the Order.

Principles of Pythagoras At its deepest level, reality is mathematical in nature. Philosophy can be used for spiritual purification. The soul can rise to union with the divine. Certain symbols have a mystical significance. All brothers and sisters of the Order should observe strict loyalty and secrecy.

Pythagorean Theorem What does the formula mean? a² + b² = c² means that in a right the sum of the squares of the lengths of two legs equals the square of the length of the hypotenuse. c a For a more in-depth look at how this formula was derived, check out this site: http://forum.swarthmore.edu/~sarah/hamilton/ham.rttriangles.html b

What is a Right Triangle? The Pythagorean Theorem applies only to right triangles. A right triangle is a triangle that has a 90 degree right angle. It has two legs and a hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle and is always the longest. The variables a + b are used for the legs and c is the variable for the hypotenuse. a c b

Let’s See How it Works! Find the Hypotenuse Question: If a = 3 and b = 4, then what does c equal? a² + b² = c² (3)2 + (4)2 = c² (3x3) + (4x4) = c² 9 + 16 = c² 25 = c2 25 = c² 5 = c a b Answer: c = 5 !

How to Find a Leg a² + b² = c² 52 + b² = 13² (5x5) + b² = (13x13) If a = 5 and c = 13, then what does b equal? a² + b² = c² 52 + b² = 13² (5x5) + b² = (13x13) 25 + b² = 169 25 + b² - 25 = 169 - 25 b² = 144 b² = 144 b = 12 a b c Answer: b = 12 !

Now You Can Try! . Find the missing hypotenuse: c a = 6 b = 8 2. Find the missing leg: a c = 26 b = 24 c 6 8 26 a 24 Check Your Answers

Answers! #1 a² + b² = c² (6)2 + (8)2 = c² (6x6) + (8x8) = c²

Answers! #2 a² + b² = c² a² + (24)2 = (26)2 a² + (24x24) = (26x26)
