The Pythagroean Theorem
In this post, I will be telling you about the Pythagorean Theorem. We were supposed to talk about the following things:
The picture of the man is Pythagoreas himself. He is the one who came up with this theorem. He was a Greek mathematition who loved numbers and was a veagan. He belived that when you die, you were re-incarnated into an animal. Pythagoreas knew alot about the earth, like how it's a sphere, and is tilted and that is why we have seasons.
This is his theorem. It is used when you want to know what a side is of a right triangle. It states that a squared, plus b squared, equals c squared or in expanded form, (a*a)+ (b*b)= (c*c). It also states that the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sums of the squares on the legs. It shows the relationship of the 3 squares. The c square is made up of the a square and the b square. Here is a picture to better explain this:

The formula for finding side C (the hypotenuse) is:

Sorry for the noise(not our fault) but I really hope that helped anyway.
1- Vocabulary
legs - these are either side of the right triange that is not the hypotenuse. These sides also make up the right angle of the triangle
hypotenuse- this is the longest side of the right triangle and is the side opposite the right angle.
Greek- a person from or the language of Greece.
theorem- a mathematical statement whose truth can be proved on the basis of a given set of axioms(a self evident truth that requires no proof) or assumptions.
2- The pictures
The link between the pictures is that they all have something to do with the Pythagorean theorem.

Square:
- Half of a square is a triangle
The formula for finding side C (the hypotenuse) is:
1. The formula.2. Replace the letters with what you know.
3. Write the expanded notation so you won't get confused.
4. Simplify
5. Find the square root of your answer and c squared.
6. The answer.
Formula for finding A or B:
1. The formula2. Replace letters with your data.
3. Write the expanded notation so you won't get
confused.
4. Simplify
5. Find the square root of your answer and A/B
6. The answer.
Problem 1
a. 
b. 
If you're wondering how I got 24, it's because each square has a length of 3 and there are 8 squares on each side so 8x3 = 24.Problem 2
This is our video explaining how you get c.

Now comes the end of my post. I hope it was ok. Please comment(you'll be a good person) and tell me if there are any mistakes. Thank you!
