PYTHAGORAS' THEOREM
By ELISA B, LAUREN M, LOIS E, SOPHIE H.
THE FORMULA!!
HISTORY!
•
THE PYTHAGORAS THEOREM WAS
USED IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT
WAYS, WHEN THEY WERE BUILDING
THE PYRAMIDS THEY USE IT TO
FIND OUT WHICH BLOCKS WERE A
RIGHT ANGLE, IT WAS IMPORTANT
FOR THEM TO HAVE IT ACCURATE.
•
A MAN CALLED PYTHAGORAS
CREATED IT, IT IS THERE FOR
NAMED AFTER HIM. PYTHAGORAS
WAS BORN IN GREECE IN THE YEAR
579b, HE WASN'T REALLY INTO
MUCH BUT HE WAS A VERY GOOD
MATHEMATICIAN.
WHO WAS PYTHAGORAS AND WHAT DID HE DO?
•
HE'S A MATHS GENIUS WHO CREATED THE
PYTHAGORAS' THEOREM WHICH STATES THAT:
•
"In any right triangle, the area of the square whose
side is the hypotenuse (the side of a right triangle
opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum areas of
the squares whose sides are the two legs (i.e. the
two sides other than the hypotenuse)."
PYTHAGORAS IN CLASS!
• WE
GOT INTRODUCED
TO PYTHAGORAS BY
OUR AMAZING TEACHER.
WE DID A BIT OF WORK
IN OUR BOOKS, AND
THEN CREATED OUR
OWN LITTLE PAPER
ONES, WE HAD DOTTED
PAPER WHICH WE HAD
TO DRAW THIS ON, THEN
COLOUR IN AND
FINALLY WE WORKED
OUT.
LET'S GET STARTED!
• FIRST
OF ALL MISS
GAVE US THE TASK OF
EXPLORING THE
YEAR7 PLAYGROUND
AND FINDING
SQUARES/
RECTANGLES FINDING
THE PYTHAGORUS
THEOREM OF
OBJECTS.
MEASURING!
• ELISA
DID THE
MEASURING WITH
SOME HELP FROM ME
AND LOIS. WE
MEASURED A AND B,
WHICH THEN LAUREN
WOULD WORK OUT
THE HYPOTENUSE
LENGTH.
SO WE
MEASURED!
SUPER
I DID A BIT OF
EVERYTHING, I HELPED
ELISA WITH SOME
MEASURING I TOOK
PICTURES AND VIDEOS,
BUT ALSO HELPED LAUREN
WITH CALCULATIONS!
MAGICAL..
LOIS WAS ABLE TO TAKE
ALOT OF PHOTOS AND
VIDEOS FOR THIS
PRESENTATION, SHE GOT
EVERYONE IN ACTION !
JUST LIKE MAGIC(:
RESULT!!
THE WONDERFUL LAUREN WAS
ABLE TO DO THE
MATHEMATICAL
CALCULATIONS TO WORK OUT
THE HYPOTENUSE LENGTH!
SHE GOT THE A AND B
LENGTHS FROM THE
MEASURMENTS TO WORK THIS
