Slide 22

In order to learn science, Pythagoras traveled a lot; in one of the Greek colonies of Southern Italy in the city of Crotone, he organized a circle of young people from the aristocracy, where they were accepted with great ceremonies after long trials. Each entrant renounced his property and swore an oath to keep the founder's teachings secret. This is how the famous “Pythagorean school” arose.

Slide 23

The Pythagoreans studied mathematics, philosophy, natural sciences. They made many important discoveries in arithmetic and geometry. However, there was a Decree at the school, according to which the authorship of all mathematical works was attributed to Pythagoras.

Entertaining problems on the topic “Pythagorean Theorem” (8th grade)

Zemlyanukhina D.V., mathematics teacher, MBOU "Anninskaya Secondary School with UIOP"

The Pythagorean theorem is rightfully considered the most important in the course of geometry and deserves close attention. It is the basis for solving many problems. Therefore, in order to develop an understanding of the significance of the Pythagorean theorem when studying both geometry and other disciplines, and the ability to apply the Pythagorean theorem to problem solving, I offer eighth-graders individual multi-level problems that require a creative approach to solution and design. Solving such entertaining problems also helps to cultivate students’ interest in the subject: mathematics no longer seems to them a dry and boring science, children see that invention, a flight of fancy, is needed here too. Creative skills.

Task No. 1. Ancient Indian problem.

Above the quiet lake
About half a foot in size
The lotus color rose.
He grew up lonely
And the wind gusts
He took it aside. No
More than a flower above the water.
The fisherman found him
Early spring
Two feet from where I grew up.
So, I'll pose a question:
“How deep is the water here?”

What is the depth in modern units of length (1 ft ≈ 0.3 m)?

Solution.

Let's make a drawing for the problem and denote the depth of the lake AC = X, then AD = AB = X + 0.5.

From the triangle ACB, according to the Pythagorean theorem, we have AB 2 – AC 2 = BC 2,

(X + 0.5) 2 – X 2 = 2 2,

X 2 + X + 0.25 – X 2 = 4,

The depth of the lake is therefore 3.75 feet.

3.75 ∙ 0.3 = 1.125 (m)

Answer: 3.75 feet or 1.125 m.

Task No. 2. The problem of an Indian mathematician of the 12th century. Bhaskars.

A lonely poplar grew on the bank of the river. Suddenly a gust of wind broke its trunk. The poor poplar fell. And its trunk made a right angle with the flow of the river. Remember now that in that place the river was only four feet wide. The top leaned over the edge of the river, only three feet of the trunk remained. I ask you, tell me soon: how tall is the poplar?

Solution.

Answer: 8 feet.

Task No. 3. Arab mathematician's problem XI V.

There is a palm tree growing on both banks of the river, one opposite the other. The height of one is 30 cubits, the other is 20 cubits. The distance between their bases is 50 cubits. A bird sits on the top of each palm tree. Suddenly both birds noticed a fish swimming to the surface of the water between the palm trees. They rushed towards her at once and reached her at the same time. At what distance from the base of the taller palm did the fish appear?

Task No. 4. Egyptian problem.

At a depth of 12 feet there is a lotus with a 13-foot stem. Determine how far the flower can deviate from the vertical passing through the point of attachment of the stem to the bottom.

Solution.

Answer: 5 feet.

Task No. 5.

A bamboo trunk 9 feet high was broken by a storm so that if the top of it was bent to the ground, the top would touch the ground at a distance of 3 feet from the base of the trunk. At what height was the trunk broken?

Solution.

Answer: 4 feet.

Task No. 6.

In the center of a square pond, 10 feet long and wide, reeds grow one foot above the surface of the water. If you bend it to the shore, to the middle of the side of the pond, then its top will reach the shore. What is the depth of the pond in modern units of length (1 ft ≈ 0.3 m)?

Solution.

Let us denote the depth of lake B D = x, then AB = BC = x + 1 – the length of the reed. From ∆ВDC according to the Pythagorean theorem CD 2 = CB 2 –ВD 2,

5 2 = (x + 1) 2 – x 2,

25 = x 2 + 2x + 1 – x 2,

So the depth of the pond is 12 feet. 12 ∙ 0.3 = 3.6 (m).

Answer: 3.6 m.

Task No. 7.

The subway escalator has 17 steps from the ground concourse floor to the underground station floor. The width of the steps is 40 cm, the height is 20 cm. Determine a) the length of the stairs, b) the vertical depth of the station.

Solution.

a) Let AB be the length of a staircase of 17 steps.

From ∆AK D by Pythagorean theorem

AD= (cm),

AB = 45 ∙ 17 = 765 (cm) = 7.65 (m).

b) BC = 40 ∙ 17 = 680 (cm).

From ∆ASV according to the Pythagorean theorem

AC= (cm) = = 3.5 (m).

Answer: the length of the stairs is 7.65 m, the depth of the station is 3.5 m.

Task No. 8.

Parallel to the straight road at a distance of 500m from it there is a chain of riflemen. The distance between the extreme arrows is 120 m, the flight range of the bullet is 2800 m. Which section of the road is under fire?

Solution.

From ∆AN D by Pythagorean theorem

AN= (km),

AB = 2 ∙ AN + NK, AB = 2 ∙ 2.755 + 0.12 ≈ 5.63 (km).

Answer: 5.63 km.

Task No. 9.

The swimmer swam from the river bank, rowing all the time in a direction perpendicular to the shore (we consider the river banks to be parallel). He swam, approaching the opposite shore at a speed of 3 km/h. After 5 min. he was on the opposite bank. Find out at what distance from the start of the swim he came out on the opposite bank, considering the speed of the current everywhere equal to 6 km/h.

Solution.

The swimmer was approaching the opposite shore at a speed
, means the width of the river

AB = 50 ∙ 5 = 250 (m). River flow speed
, therefore, the current carried it away in 5 minutes. at 500m (BC=500m). Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find the distance from the point of the initial swim to the point of exit to the opposite shore

AC =

≈ 250 ∙ 2.24=560 (m)

Answer: 560 m.

Task No. 10.

You are sailing a boat on a lake and want to know its depth. Is it possible to use the reeds sticking out of the water for this without tearing them out?

Solution.

Slightly tilting the reed and holding it taut, measure the distanceA between points A and B, at which the reeds cross the surface of the water in a vertical and inclined position, respectively. Return the reed to its original position and determine the height V above the water, to which point B of the inclined reed will rise, taking the initial position C. Then denoting the base of the reed by D, and by X – the desired depth AD, from the rectangular ∆АВD we find using the Pythagorean theorem

X 2 +a 2 = (x+b) 2 ,

X 2 +a 2 = x 2 +2хв+в 2

2хв=а 2 -V 2 ,

x=

Task No. 11.

Brief biographical information about Pythagoras

Unfortunately, Pythagoras did not leave any writings about his biography, so we can only learn all the information about this great philosopher and famous mathematician through the memories of his followers, and even then they are not always fair. Therefore, there are many legends about this man. But the truth is that Pythagoras was a great Hellenic sage, philosopher and talented mathematician.

According to unreliable information, the great sage and brilliant scientist Pythagoras was born into a far from poor family, on the island of Samosea, around 570 BC.

The birth of a brilliant child was predicted by Paphia. Therefore, the future luminary received his name Pythagoras, which means that this is exactly the one whom Paphia announced. She predicted that the born baby would bring a lot of benefit and goodness to people in the future.

The newborn was incredibly beautiful, and in time he pleased those around him with his outstanding abilities. And since the young talent whiled away his days among the wise elders, this bore fruit in the future. This is how, thanks to Hermodamantus, Pythagoras fell in love with music, and Pherecydes directed the child’s mind to logos. After living in Samosea, Pythagoras went to Miletus, where he met another scientist - Thales.

Pythagoras became acquainted with the knowledge of all the sages known at that time, since he was allowed to study and learn all the sacraments that were forbidden to others. He tried to get to the bottom of the truth and absorb all the knowledge accumulated by mankind.

After twenty-two years in Egypt, Pythagoras moved to Babylon, where he continued his communication with various sages and magicians. Returning at the end of his life to Samios, he was recognized as one of the wisest people that time.

Pythagorean theorem



Even a person who has not yet had the opportunity to study this theorem has probably heard the statement about “Pythagorean pants.” The peculiarity of this theorem is that it has become one of the key theorems of Euclidean geometry. It makes it easy to find and establish correspondence between the sides of a right triangle.

The Pythagorean theorem was remembered by every schoolchild not only for the statement: “Pythagorean pants are equal on all sides,” but for its simplicity and significance. And at first glance, this theorem, although it seems simple, has great importance, since in geometry it is applied at virtually every step.


The Pythagorean theorem has a large number of different proofs and is probably the only theorem that has such a huge number of proofs. This diversity underscores the limitless significance of this theorem.

The Pythagorean theorem contains geometric, algebraic, mechanical and other proofs.

There are many different legends about the discovery of the theorem by Pythagoras. But, despite all this, the name of Pythagoras forever entered the history of geometry and firmly merged with the Pythagorean theorem. After all, this brilliant mathematician will be the first to present a proof of the theorem that bears his name.



Statements of the theorem

There are several formulations of the Pythagorean theorem.

The Euclidean Theorem tells us that the square of the side of a right triangle drawn over its right angle is equal to the squares on the sides enclosing the right angle.



Assignment: Find different formulations of the Pythagorean theorem. Do you find any difference in them?

Simplified Euclid's proof

Regardless of whether we take the decomposition method or the Euclidean proof, any arrangement of squares can be used. In some cases, minor simplifications can be achieved.


Let's take a square, which is built on one of the legs and has the same location as the triangle. We see that the continuation of the side opposite to the leg of this square passes through the vertex of the square, which is built on the hypotenuse.

The proof of the theorem looks quite simple, since it will be enough to simply compare the areas of the figures with the area of ​​the triangle. And we see that S of a triangle is equal to ½ the area of ​​a square, and also ½ S of a rectangle.

The simplest proof


Algebraic proof

The algebraic proof of the Pythagorean theorem includes elementary methods that are present in algebra. These are methods of solving equations combined with a method of changing variables.

Let's look at this evidence in more detail. And so, we have a rectangle ABC, whose right angle is C.

Draw the CD height from this corner.

According to the definition of cosine of an angle, we get:

cosA=AD/AC=AC/AB. Hence AB*AD=AC2.

And correspondingly:

cosB = BD/BC=BC/AB.

Hence AB*BD=BC2.

Now let’s add these equalities term by term and see that: AD+DB=AB,

AC2+BC2=AB(AD+DB)=AB2.

That's all, the theorem is proven.



Scientists “proved” the Pythagorean theorem with the help of cartoons. A group of like-minded people from the Institute. Steklova received a prize for an original mathematical project that they developed for schoolchildren and teachers. They created mini lessons in mathematics that turned this boring subject into a very interesting and educational one. The young scientists released their unusual sketches on discs and posted them on the Internet for public viewing.
