3
Introduction We will start by telling you about a brief history about Pythagoras, and of course, the Pythagorean theorem.
4
The Man himself Pythagoras was born in Samos, a small Greek island.
Mathematician and Philosopher Other than Math, he also did other things, namely: Religion Science Music
5
Pythagorean Theorem Most notable mathematics discovery
Right-angled triangle Sq. of hypotenuse (side opp. right angle) Equals to Sq. of Side A + Sq. of Side B
6
Pythagorean Triplets We are covering the Pythagorean Triplets today. Have fun!
7
Set of Numbers fulfilling the formula
What is it? Based on the Pythagorean theorem Common example - 3:4:5 triangle Pythagorean Triplet Set of Numbers fulfilling the formula
8
Uses and Applications Tests and Exams Time is very limited.
Save time to find lengths of the sides immediately.
9
How to Create Triplets 2 ways to do so:
Memorise by heart Use a formula The triplets will also mostly follow the ratio 3:4:5, or any triangle similar to it.
10
Some Pythagorean Triplets
3:4:5 right triangle & all its similar triangles 6:8:10 triangle 9:12:15 triangle 5:12:13 right triangle & all its similar triangles 10:24:26 triangle 20:21:29 right triangle and all its similar triangles 40:42:58 triangle
11
Formula 1 Conditions: m > n > 0
Both m and n must be positive integers
12
Formula 2 (a is odd)
13
Formula 2 (a is even)
14
Formula 3 Most Complicated
Both u and v must not have any common factors. U must be odd
15
Pythagorean Quadruples
Similar to Pythagorean Triplets Set of 4 numbers which fulfill the following formula: a2 + b2 + c2 = d2
