The Pythagorean theorem has many applications in modern life. It can be used to calculate distances in baseball diamonds, determine ladder lengths, and compare heights and weights. Builders use it to lay floors and construct buildings by calculating missing sides of triangles. Artists also employ the theorem as a drawing tool to create mosaics and triangular shapes. The Pythagorean theorem forms the basis of trigonometry and connects algebra and geometry. It continues to be important in fields like fractal geometry, cell phone location, and the construction of 3D environments in video games.

Pythagoras Theorem Explained
Pythagoras discovered that the ancient Egyptians used a 3:4:5 right triangle to build the pyramids. He investigated this further and deduced the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for any right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Pythagoras proved this by drawing squares on each side of right triangles and showing that the areas added up. The Pythagorean theorem has been used since ancient times in architecture, engineering, and more recently in technology like screens.
Pythagoras And The Pythagorean Theorem
Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician born around 570 BCE in Samos, Greece. He founded a school in Croton, Italy where he studied mathematics and developed the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Pythagoras made many contributions to mathematics and music. He discovered that the musical scale is based on string length ratios and ratios of whole numbers.

Misconceptions in mathematics
A pupil actively constructs their own mathematical knowledge by interacting new ideas with existing ideas, which can lead to misconceptions. Diagnostic teaching is important as it involves identifying misconceptions, challenging them through discussion to resolve conflicts, and replacing misconceptions with correct understanding. The teacher must understand the source of the misconception to effectively challenge it, and research shows this diagnostic approach promotes better learning compared to simply explaining again.

Pythagoras therom
Pythagoras was an ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician and founder of the Pythagorean brotherhood in the 6th century BCE. He established an academy in Croton, Italy that formulated principles influencing later thinkers like Plato and Aristotle. Pythagoras is best known for the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. The theorem is fundamental to mathematics and is used today to determine viewing sizes of televisions and identify right triangles through pythagorean triplets.
The Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. It was named after the Greek mathematician Pythagoras, who lived in the 6th century BC. The theorem can be used to calculate unknown side lengths in right triangles. Some examples are also given to demonstrate applying the theorem.

Geometry in Real Life
Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with measuring and studying the properties and relationships of points, lines, angles, surfaces and solids. It has many practical applications in areas like carpentry, painting, gardening, construction and more. Geometry is also used in many occupations including mechanical engineering, surveying, mathematics, astronomy, graphic design and computer imaging.
The Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem states that the sum of the squares of the two sides of a right triangle equals the square of the hypotenuse. It was developed by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BC and is useful for calculating unknown side lengths in right triangles and finding diagonals of squares and rectangles. Some examples of numbers that satisfy the theorem are called Pythagorean triples.
GEOMETRY AROUND US

Geometry has many practical applications in fields like construction, engineering, and space exploration.
Geometry in real life
Geometry is used in many areas of real life. It is primarily developed to measure lengths, areas, and volumes and is used for practical applications like carpeting, gardening, and conical hats. Geometry is also important in fields like computers, where software uses coordinate geometry as a basis. It has applications in photography through use of lighting angles, in stairs through inclined angles, and in physics through equations of motion. Geometry is key in graphics design, buildings, vehicles, cycles, surveying, and other areas involving shapes and spatial relationships.
Sacred geometry
Sacred geometry can show up to some degree obscure, however, a fundamental comprehension of sacred geometry can give an accommodating method for survey our reality that you can use in your very own life.
Pythagorean Theorem.pptx
The document discusses the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs. It provides the history of the theorem, visual proofs of it, an explanation of right triangles, and examples of using the theorem to solve for a missing side. It also lists real-life applications like building/architecture, navigation/GPS, and games/sports. The overall document provides information about the Pythagorean theorem, how to use it to solve problems, and its relevance in various real-world contexts.

How to Setup Warehouse & Location in Odoo 17 Inventory
In this slide, we'll explore how to set up warehouses and locations in Odoo 17 Inventory. This will help us manage our stock effectively, track inventory levels, and streamline warehouse operations.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
