Sec 2: Pythagoras' Theorem

WoW...



Pythagoras' Theorem seemed to have existed 1000 years before Pythagoras proved the theorem. It was interesting how Pythagoras came to discover the theorem while waiting for the rule of Samos... (Perhaps we shall spend more time reflecting and we may discover something new...)



Anyway, I "discovered" that the special set of 3 numbers that satisfies Pythagoras Theorem can be expressed as General Terms. a = 2k+1, b = 2k (k + 1) and c = b + 1. k can be any positive number (using natural numbers would be a wiser option). Anyone keen to prove that this is true?



By the way, discovered all this from www.flashpapers.com/main/research-papers/pythagorous-theorem.html. Interested parties, please visit the link.



Cheers~
