Pythagoras (fl. 500 BCE)
The theorem of Pythagoras is one of the earliest and most important results in the history of mathematics. It has immense practical value and led to the discovery of irrational numbers - a right triangle with unit sides leads via Pythagoras to the square root of 2! For further history: St. Andrews' history of Mathematics site
Theorem of Pythagoras
Given any right angle triangle, if one forms a square on each side of that triangle then the area of the largest square (that of the hypoteneuse) is equal to the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares (those which are formed on the sides about the right or 90 degree angle). Proof of the theorem is demonstrated through the following Quicktime animation. Use the controls to animate the movie. Note that the area of a given colour remains the same in the animation - no matter how the shape of the figure changes!
Notes on the demonstration:
  • Textual details of the proof are intentionally absent from the movie. This encourages the student to work through why this is in fact a proof and how they might produce a formal proof based on the demonstration.
    Alternatively an instructor might like to fill in these details before/during/after the demonstration.

3. Pythagorean Problem
A method of disproving the theorem of pythagoras is presented. The author is adamant that this is intended only as a puzzle to find the mistake in the arguments, and not as a serious proposal.
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/System/8956/problems/pyth.htm
PLEASE NOTE: The following work is presented as a mathematical puzzle. It is NOT a valid proof, but serves to illustrate the problems that can arise if one is not familiar with postulates and conditions of various theorems. Read it and try to find the problem, but PLEASE do not preach to the world that Pythagoras' Theorem is false.
A Disproof of Pythagoras' Theorem
The Theorem of Pythagoras
In a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two side sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
a + b = c
DISPROOF:
Start by defining a coordinate system with a along the x-axis and b along the y-axis. Let y = f(x) define the hypotenuse. Furthermore define a sequence of functions f n
n n (x) converges uniformly to f(x).
Clearly the length of the path defined by f (x) is a+b (or length a depending upon exactly how defines the path). Similarly, for any value of n the length of the path defined by f n (x) is also a+b. Since the functions f n (x) converge uniformly to f(x) the length of the path defined by f(x) is a+b.

(M-6) The Theorem of Pythagoras
Pythagoras of Samos was a Greek philosopher who lived around 530 BC, mostly in the Greek colony of Crotona in southern Italy. According to tradition he was the first to prove the assertion (theorem) which today bears his name: If a triangle has sides of length ( a,b,c ), with sides ( a,b ) enclosing an angle of 90 degrees ("right angle"), then a + b = c A right angle can be defined here as the angle formed when two straight lines cross each other in such a way that all 4 angles produced are equal. The theorem also works the other way around: if the lengths of the three sides ( a,b,c ) of a triangle satisfy the above relation, then the angle between sides a and b must be of 90 degrees. For instance, a triangle with sides a b c = 5 (inches, feet, meterswhatever) is right-angled, because a + b = 9 + 16 = 25 = c Ancient Egyptian builders may have known the (3,4,5) triangle and used it (with measured rods or strings) to construct right angles; even today builders may still nail together boards of those lengths to help align a corner. Many proofs exist and the easiest ones are probably the ones based on algebra, using the elementary identities discussed in the preceding section, namely

Contents
The program begins with three real-life situations that lead to the same mathematical problem: Find the length of one side of a right triangle if the lengths of the other two sides are known. The problem is solved by a simple computer-animated derivation of the Pythagorean theorem (based on similar triangles): In any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs. The algebraic formula a + b = c is interpreted geometrically in terms of areas of squares, and is then used to solve the three real-life problems posed earlier. Historical context is provided through stills showing Babylonian clay tablets and various editions of Euclid's Elements . Several different computer-animated proofs of the Pythagorean theorem are presented, and the theorem is extended to 3-space.

Project MATHEMATICS! Contest
Project MATHEMATICS! conducted a contest in 1994 open to all teachers who had used project materials (videotapes and workbooks). Entries were judged on the basis of innovative and effective use of these materials in the classroom. Through the generosity of The Hewlett-Packard Company and The Intel Foundation eight prizes totaling $13,000 were awarded. They consisted of five first-place awards of $1,000 each to teachers, with an additional $1,000 presented to the awardee's school to be used in a manner determined by the awardee. In addition, second-place awards of $500 each went to three teachers, with another $500 presented to the awardee's school to be used in a manner determined by the awardee. The names of the winners are listed on the next page. A videotape was prepared showing classroom implementation of the entries of the first-place winners. This booklet describes these entries in more detail and also describes the entries of the second-place winners. The Hewlett-Packard Company and The Intel Foundation jointly provided financial support to produce the videotape and the booklet and to distribute 1,000 complimentary copies to teachers nationwide. Entries were received from various parts of the country, from Canada, and from overseas. Grade levels ranged from grade 8 in middle school to first-year community college. The contest entries show that teachers who are free to experiment can adapt to new ideas and new technology in creative ways that enhance their teaching and motivate their students to become excited about learning mathematics.

The key to the proof of the theorem of Pythagoras
The theorem states that the area of the large white square (square of the hypoteneuse) in the following diagram
is equal to the sum of the areas of the two squares (of the two sides) in the next diagram It's important to notice that the orange triangle in both pictures is the same one, just rotated to better show the squares (and to match the animation). The proof begins by changing the solid white square to a blue one outlined in white. Then the same orange triangle is placed at each side of the square. The inside edges of the four triangles form the hypoteneus square. The outside edges of these four triangles form a large outer square. The outer square has fixed area equal to the area of the blue hypoteneuse square plus the areas of all four orange triangles. As the orange triangles move about in the animation, the outer square is preserved and consequently, the area of the outer square does not change. Because the orange triangles never overlap in the animation, the total area of the four triangles does not change either.

CHAPTER 6 : THEOREM OF PYTHAGORAS AND THE RIGHT TRIANGLE 6.1 The Right Triangle
Figure 6.1 D ABC is a right triangle, hence m ABC = 90 . Therefore m A and m C are complementary ( figure 6.1). Now seg.BD is a perpendicular onto seg.AC (figure 6.2). Figure 6.2 Seg.BD divides D ABC into two right triangles D BDC and D ADB ( figure 6.2). It can be easily proven that these two triangles are similar to the parent D ABC and therefore similar to each other. Proof : Consider D ABC and D BDC ABC BCA D ABC ~ D BDC Similarly consider D ABC and D ADB.

1300 b.C. THEOREM OF PYTHAGORAS In the tablet, of which the translation is reported, it seems really that the theorem of Pythagoras is applied. In fact the calculation of the sides of a rectangle is exactly performed beginning from the knowledge of the diagonal (0,6666) and of the relationship existing between the width (W) and the length (L): W=L-L/4. Place: Susa (Mesopotamia) Epoch: 1300 b.C. - End of the I Dynasty of Babylon Tablet of Susa Problem We set that: - the width (of the rectangle) measures a quarter less in relationship to the length. Width = Length - Length/4 - the dimension of the diagonal is 0,6666. Diagonal = 0,6666 Which are the length and the width of the rectangle? Solution Set 1, the length, set 1 the prolongation. Arbitrary length = 1 0,25, the quarter, subtract from 1, you find 0,75. Arbitrary width = 1 - 0,25 = 0,75 Set 1 as length, set 0,75 as width, square 1, the length, you find 1. Square 0,75, the width, you find 0,5625.
