Pythagoras was a Greek Mathematician. He was born in Samos on 580 BC- 572 BC. He was the first vegetarian. He was known as "father of number". He also made influential contributions to philosophy and religious teaching on the late 6th century.


Vocabulary:
legs:in right triangle the legs are the sides which make the right angle
Greek: a person who was born or living in Greece
Theorem- a statement which we shall prove to be true from previously known facts, namely definitions, postulates and already proved theorems
R.A.T.- right angle triangle
hypotenuse- longest side of a right triangle labeled size which is c.






The big triangle is made up of two right triangles. a of right triangle 1 is equal to a of right triangle 2. They have equal hypotenuse and for sure they will have the same b's.



Right triangle 1 Right triangle 2



to get the base of the big triangle we have b+b

6+6 = 12 the length of the base


of the isosceles triangle




problem #2














If we are going to draw the figure we will have this;







lets do first the small square





for the board:

each small squares has dimension of 3x3 cm, and the board is arranged in 8 rows of 8


each sides (s) of the board = 3x8

s = 24

a = b = s

a= 24 cm

b = 24 cm
