Five New Ways to Prove a Pythagorean Theorem
Abstract
Pythagoras is one of the mathematicians who
developed the basic theories of mathematics. One of his
taunts that are well-known even by primary school
students is a Pythagorean Theorem. This theorem states
that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the
hypotenuse is equal to the sum of each other sides square.
There are many proofs which have been developed by a
scientist, we have estimated up to 370 proofs of the
Pythagorean Theorem. In this paper, we are trying to
develop five new proofs of Pythagorean Theorem by using
algebraic-geometric proof. The first proof is proven by
the trapezoidal shape constructed by five right triangles.
The second and third Proofs are proven by using the
constructed parallelograms consisting four right triangles
and two isosceles trapezoids. The fourth proof is proven
by trapezoidal shape constructed of three pieces of a
congruent trapezoid, and the fifth proof is proven by
using a rectangle constructed by congruent square. Thus,
we conclude that the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
can be proven by using the construction of flat trapezoid,
parallelogram, square, and rectangular by means of a
right-angle triangle.
