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 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…
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.
Only very recently a trigonometric proof of the Pythagoras theorem was given by Zimba \cite{1}, many authors thought this was not possible. In this note we give other trigonometric proofs of Pythagoras theorem by establishing,…
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.
Gradients of the perimeter and area of a polygon have straightforward geometric interpretations. The use of optimality conditions for constrained problems and basic ideas in triangle geometry show that polygons with prescribed area…
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…
In this paper I present a kind of proof for classical Euclidean geometric problems which relies on both synthetic and analytic geometry. Using the elementary tools of polynomial algebra and multivariate calculus we manage to reduce the…
In this paper we will do the following: (1) show how to geometrically define multiplication, using only basic plane geometry, independently of area and any notion of similar triangles; (2) prove all the properties of multiplication using…
The revised version has two additional references and a shorter proof of Proposition 5.7. This version also makes numerous small changes and has an appendix containing a proof of the degree formula for a parametrized surface.
Geometric algebra is the natural outgrowth of the concept of a vector and the addition of vectors. After reviewing the properties of the addition of vectors, a multiplication of vectors is introduced in such a way that it encodes the famous…
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…
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 extend the notion of triangle to "imaginary triangles" with complex valued sides and angles, and parametrize families of such triangles by plane algebraic curves. We study in detail families of triangles with two commensurable angles,…
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…
In this paper, we give a comparison version of Pythagorean Theorem to judge the lower or upper bound of the curvature of Alexandrov spaces (including Riemannian manifolds).
Using an elementary argument, we prove new fixed point theorems for classical elliptic complexes. We obtain new results for conformal relations and coisotropic intersections. We obtain theorems for the average intersections of families of…
Unquestionably the greatest discovery of the Pythagoreans is the existence of incommensurable magnitudes, most probably the incommensurability of the diameter to the side of a square, but there is no agreement among historians of Greek…
Any stretching of Ringel's non-Pappus pseudoline arrangement when projected into the Euclidean plane, implicitly contains a particular arrangement of nine triangles. This arrangement has a complex constraint involving the sines of its…
