Is pythagorean and Pythagoras are same?
Pythagoras was a person, pythagorean refers to his mathematical theories - principally his theorems about the measures of the sides of a right angled triangle.
What is the largest Pythagorean Triple?
There is no largest Pythagorean triple since there's infinite amount of them. But if you're looking for one quite big, I took a few minutes for you and wrote a program that computes them (and btw is still computing them). Right now the largest one the function returned is 77893200, 128189952, 150000048. Note that you can multiply all three with any same natural number larger than one (2,3,4,...) and you'll get a Pythagorean triple larger than mine.
Why does sin theta squared plus cos theta squared equal 1?
Sin2(theta) + cos2(theta) = 1 for the same reason that the sides of a right triangle squared equal the hypotenuse squared - The pythagorean theorem.In the unit circle (origin = (0,0), radius = 1), an angle theta is the angle made by some arbitrary ray drawn from the origin at an angle relative to the x axis. The point of that ray that intersects with the circle is the point (x,y).Sin(theta) is defined as x, and cos(theta) is defined as y. These are primary trigonometric identities, which link trigonometry with geometry.Since the points (0,0) (x,0) (x,y) (0,x) describe a right triangle, with (0,x) (0,0) (x,0) being the right angle, then x2 + y2 = 12, or sin2(theta) + cos2(theta) = 1.If this is not clear, draw a circle around the origin, draw a line from the center to an arbitrary point on the circle, and draw the x and y perpendiculars of that point to each axis. You will see a right triangle. X is sine, Y is cosine, and 1 is hypotenuse. It does not matter if X and/or Y is negative - the squaring will make it positive - and the pythagorean theorem should be visible.
What is the french word for triangle?
It is the same word, same spelling but pronounced like -tree-on-glaHope this helps.
Different kinds of triangles in terms of sides?
An isosceles triangle has two sides the same length. An equilateral has all 3 sides the same length. A scalene triangle doesn't have any sides that are the same length.
