Pythagoras theorem: proof and applications Segment one I am Dr. Kamel Al-Khaled from Jordan University of Science and technology. Today I will be presenting what was prepared in cooperation with Dr. Ameen Alwaneh in the math module, which is “Pythagorean Theorem: Proof and Applications” I hope you will enjoy that. Before we start our presentation, let us first talk a bit about Pythagoras… he was born in Samos in the year 566 B.C. and died in 479 B.C. He moved from Malta to Phoenicia in the north of Syria then to Egypt, he stayed there for 12 years then went back to Samos – his birth city - he was 65 years old by then . Then he went to Greece and died there. He was implicated in mathematics and music. The outlines our module are as follows: First; I will state Pythagorean Theorem, mathematically and geometrically and in mathematical symbols, then we will solve the right angel triangle. Which means, if we do have lengths of two sides of a right angel triangle, how can we find the third side? Then we will talk about the converse of Pythagorean Theorem ….i.e. if a triangle satisfies Pythagorean Theorem, does it mean that the angel is triangle? We will see that latter on. We also will have a question about forming groups of three whole numbers represents a right angel triangle diameter that satisfy with Pythagorean Theorem, then we will draw a proof of the theorem; knowing that there are more than 80 proofs for this theorem. Here, we will be talking only about one of them. Briefly that is what we will be doing today. I will come back to you in a minute. Segment two Dear students …. Let me introduce the following two problems, or two puzzles, or simple questions. And, I will not give the answers of these two questions; however you will answer them easily on your own by the end of the module. One of the very well known stories during the Babylonian empire says: if we have a right angel triangle, let us call it ABC, its right angel is B. We where given tw
