Theorem Pythagoras

We will be estimating the velocity of a molecule from kinetic theory, not the x-component of this velocity. Thus, from the Pythagoras theorem, the velocity of a molecule, v, is given by... 

The only reasonable interpretation of this observation is that it is an interference effect shown by waves. Light reaches the final screen from two sources, S2 and S3 in Fig. 1.4. At some points on the screen, the two sets of waves are in phase, and interfere constructively giving high intensity at other points they are out of phase, and their destructive interference gives low intensity. A more quantitative analysis can be made, using the dimensions shown in Fig. 1.4. From Pythagoras theorem, we have...

FIGURE 11.2. A convenient way to draw the contents of a unit cell, given the atonii " coordinates, is shown here, (a) The outline of the unit cell is drawn to scale in twc dimensions as shown. It is then divided into one tenths in each dimension, by meaIl of a ruler (any scale, inches, centimeters), inclined as shown, so that each side can b--divided into ten parts, (b) The result is a grid on which the positions of atoms can hr plotted, as shown. In the third dimension, if the third unit-cell axis is perpendicular to the plane of the paper, Pythagoras theorem can be used to measure interatomi-distances if it is not perpendicular, only an approximate estimate can be made. 

If we apply Pythagoras theorem to this case, we obtain... 

The polar coordinates r and 6 define the modulus (alternatively known as the absolute value and sometimes denoted by z ) and argument, respectively, of z. From Pythagoras theorem, and simple trigonometry, the modulus and argument of z are defined as follows (see Figure 2.2) ... 

If we apply the Pythagoras theorem, first to triangle ORQ in Figure 5.8, and then to triangle OQP, we obtain an expression for the magnitixleof r in terms of its components ... 

Reference has frequently been made to Euclid, i., 47—Pythagoras theorem. In any right-angled triangle, say, Fig. 184,... 

The exponential part of a GTF on centre A may be written in terms of an exponential on centre C using Pythagoras Theorem... 

FIGURE 1.1 Geometrical interpretation of Pythagoras theorem. The area of the large square equals the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares. 

FIGURE 4.2 Einstein s proof of Pythagoras theorem. The proof does assume, perhaps prematurely, that the angles of a triangle add up to 180°. 

The variables E might stand for area or extent (Erstreckung in German), while m is a proportionality constant (maybe mengenproportional). Since Ec = Ea + Eb, the ms cancel out, and the result is Pythagoras theorem (4.1). The preceding story is perhaps an alternative interpretation of the famous Einstein cartoon reproduced in Figure. 4.3. 

Whenever one of these functions goes through zero, the other has a local maximum at -h 1 or minimum at — 1. This follows easily from differential calculus, as we will show later. Pythagoras theorem translates to the fundamental trigonometric identity ... 

Using d = b sin C again and applying Pythagoras theorem to the left-hand right triangle, we find... 

In this chapter, we will be considering only relations involving two variables. Later, we will generalize to more variables. A functional relation fix, y) = 0 can be represented by a curve on the two-dimensional x, y plane, a Cartesian coordinate system. The distance between two points (xi, y ) and (x2, y2) can be found using Pythagoras theorem ... 

Pythagoras of Samos (c. 580-c. 500 bc) Greek philosopher and mathematician, who in about 520 bc went to Croton in Italy, where he founded an academy at which numbers and their mystical significance were studied. Pythagoras discovered irrational numbers and the celebrated Pythagoras theorem.
