This article proves a Pythagoras-type formula for the sides and diagonals of a polygon inscribed in a semicircle having one of the sides of the polygon as diameter.
In this article using elementary school level Geometry we observe an alternative proof of Pythagorean Theorem from Heron's Formula.
We propose two new proofs of the Pythagorean theorem via area rearrangement arguments starting from very simple geometric configurations. The constructions depend on an angular parameter, each choice of which yields a proof. For specific…
The Pythagorean Theorem has been proved in hundreds of ways, yet it inspires fresh insights through geometry and trigonometry. In this paper, we offer a new proof based on three circles that circumscribe the sides of a right triangle.…
We give a brief historical overview of the famous Pythagoras' theorem and Pythagoras. We present a simple proof of the result and dicsuss some extensions. We follow \cite{thales}, \cite{wiki} and \cite{wiki2} for the historical comments and…
We give an infinite number of proofs of Pythagoras theorem.Some can be classified as `self-similar proofs'.
We provide an alternative unified approach for proving the Pythagorean theorem (in dimension $2$ and higher), the law of sines and the law of cosines, based on the concept of shape derivative. The idea behind the proofs is very simple: we…
Pythagoras' theorem, the area of a triangle as one half the base times the height, and Heron's formula are amongst the most important and useful results of ancient Greek geometry. Here we look at all three in a new and improved light, using…
This study investigates a generalisation of the Pythagorean theorem to the lengths of conic arcs constructed symmetrically on the sides of a right triangle. It is demonstrated that the theorem remains valid whenever the conic eccentricity…
Recent interest in noncircular trigonometric proofs has underscored the need for alternative methodologies. Jackson and Johnson's 2024 study addresses a longstanding gap in the foundations of trigonometric proofs. Inspired by the work of…
There are multiple generalisations of the Pythagorean theorem to spherical and hyperbolic geometry. A natural one, involving areas of disks with radii equal to the sides of a proper triangle, was discovered in the hyperbolic case by Maria…
We give a short proof of Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma, based on elementary Euclidean geometry. The general line of the proof is that of the standard proof (in fact, of Szemer\'edi's original proof), but most technicalities are swallowed…
We give a proof of Pythagoras' theorem which does not use neither squares nor similarity of triangles.
In Euclidean geometry, the Pythagorean theorem is presented as an equation involving three squares. This paper explores how analogous expressions may be identified in spherical and hyperbolic geometries.
We re-derive Thales, Pythagoras, Apollonius, Stewart, Heron, al Kashi, de Gua, Terquem, Ptolemy, Brahmagupta and Euler's theorems as well as the inscribed angle theorem, the law of sines, the circumradius, inradius and some angle bisector…
We prove that the Pythagoras number of the ring of integers of the compositum of all real quadratic fields is infinite. The same holds for certain infinite totally real cyclotomic fields. In contrast, we construct infinite degree totally…
We analyze Toponogov's sine theorem for an infinitesimal geodesic triangle ABC on a C^2 regular surface M, which is given in his book [6, Problem 3.7.2] and we provide a generalization of the law of cosines for ABC on M. By replacing in the…
The leading idea of the paper is to treat the theorem of Wigner with methods inspired by geometry. The exercise mentionned in the title has two functions: On the one hand it can serve as a pedagogical text in order to make the reader…
We propose two different derivations of Pythagoras Theorem and apply the same to study discrete and continuum states.
Given a right triangle and two inscribed squares, we show that the reciprocals of the hypotenuse and the sides of the squares satisfy an interesting Pythagorean equality. This gives new ways to obtain rational(integer)right triangles from a…
