What was Pythagoras thinking?
One of the rules you learn in Geometry is the Pythagorean theorem. This states that the sum of the square of the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.
What exactly does that mean?

What is the Pythagorean Theorem?
Pythagoras's Diagram
What this theorem represents
What this means in our example, the area of the magenta square (with a side length of 3 and an area of 3X3 or 9) added to the area of the blue square (with a side length of 4 and an area of 4X4 or 16) equals the area of the hypotenuse (or purple square -- with a side length of 5 and an area of 5X5 or 25). 9+16=25.
This can help you find the length of the third side of a right triangle when you have the other two.

- Pythagoras also didn't believe in irrational numbers, yes? Didn't he throw one of his students overboard who suggested that the square root of two could not be rational when they were out sailing on the Aegean? Maybe our prof just made that up. Anyway, thumbs up from fellow Squidoo and Zazzle nerdz.
