Incredible way to prove a² + b² = c²

There are many proofs of the famous right triangle equation. This proof comes from the world's first calculus textbook. #math #maths #mathematics #shorts

How many Pythagoras theorem proofs do you want see
Everyone : "yes"

[sunya]

'Yuktibhasha' written by Jyeshthadeva(ज्येष्ठदेव) of Kerala school of mathematics around c.1530.

[Rohit-bkbc]

This is so cool!!! love the animation!!

[undergraduate]

Yukti Idea, bhasha language.
Yuktibhasha - Language of ideas.

[NotesforMsc]

Sir. You pronounced it accurately. Thank for wonderful proof.

[yugagrawal]

Hey man! I read recently that few college students proved Pythagoras theorem using trigonometry, which was previously believed to be impossible. I would love to see your explanation of that proof.

[billa]

Ancient India-china mathematician are great.

[paulosullivan]

Never seen this proof before and honestly I think it has instantly become my favourite proof.

[NoosaHeads]

This is so simply explained, it's annoying that I never viewed things this way myself.

[xnick_uy]

This proof needs to be complemented by the observation that the sides of the rotated triangles meet at a 90 degree angle (some angle relations can be stated to prove this point).

[baronvonbeandip]

I really like the faint breathing after the presentation is done.

[TheDigiWorld]

My most favorite is the one with the square inside another square one

[sethapex]

And we know that both of the triangles we construct will have an equal hypotenuse because they both have a leg length of a and b.

[dhy]

For proof that India, Egypt, and China had this knowledge LONG before the Greeks and the west, find and read the book, "The Crest of the Peacock."

[imyrzaim]

Easy proof
In triangle a=6, b=8 find hypotenuse
a²+b²=c²
So 6²+8²=c²
36+64=100
Root of 100 =c
100 root=10
Therefore
a=6, b=8 and c=10

[davidsalazar]

Question!

What are the values of a, b, and c in this problem?

[dr.rahulgupta]

युक्ति भाषा ( ज्येष्ठ देव ) सही शब्द है।

[TunaBear]

My mathematician me almost got a heart attack after hearing the word "clearly"



"Clearly" means I think it is but i haven't proven it.

That's a "opposite cathetus/hypotenuse" man

[davidb]

My favourite is Einstein's proof. Anyone who has seen it understands Pythagoras at a glance.

[grahamh.]

This is not really a proof. It’s just showing an example of the theorem working.
