this so called "Pythagoras Theorem" was known to the ancient Indians long long before the time of Pythagoras and the Vedic Proofs are much simpler than Euclids' etc.,
ReplyDeleteThe above Animation is identical to the First Proof as mentioned in Chapter 37 of the book "VEDIC MATHEMATICS" by Jagadguru Swami Sri BHARATI KRSNA TIRTHAJI MAHARAJA (Sankaracharya of Govardhan Matha, Puri)

ReplyDeleteGreat comment Ramaraobobby. Elegantly put. Vedic mathematics are amazing and the logic behind any Sankaracharya is often sound and concise.
ReplyDeleteOrkut is a social network Google purchased. It is very popular in India and ties into your Google account.
It is known that the theorem is older than Pythagoras. It is also older than Indian mathematics.
ReplyDeleteIt was known in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia circa 2000 BC pre-dating the earliest Indian reference (Baudhayana Sulba Sutra) by 1200 years.
