what is Pythagorean?

well all i know about it is it is a way to find missing sides of a triangle. its formula is $a^2 + b^2 = c^2\!\,$

the diagram might help

Triangle 1

The triangle -1- is just proof of Pythagoras... and i put it because it is animated. Triangle -2- is the big thing. If you apply the formula to it, you'll get the any missing side. For example, if you only had 4 & 3 which are the legs, you would square them, and find the sum of them both together. This would then give you the hypotenuse which is 5. Now i know your wondering what is the hypotenuse, well its the side opposite to the right angle in a triangle, and in other words, its the largest side. in the formula, it is represented as (C). (A) &(B) are the legs of the right angle. in other words they are the other 2 shorter sides. In the case of the triangle (345), the a=3, b=4. doesn't matter what the A or B take, we can call the 4=A and the 3=B. to find any missing of a right angle triangle, all you need to do is plug in the missing side, and .. wallah you will get the answer. Triangle 3 ( the diagram) is just the layout of sides.

Triangle 2

The following is taken from another website, just a little about Pythagorean:

Triangle 3

"Pythagoras lived in the 500s BC, and was one of the first Greek mathematical thinkers. He spent most of his life in the Greek colonies in Sicily and southern Italy. He had a group of followers (like the later disciples ofJesusPythagoreans were known for their pure lives (they didn't eat beans, for example, because they thought beans were not pure enough). They wore their hair long, and wore only simple clothing.

Pythagoreans were interested in philosophy, but especially in music andmathematics, two ways of making order out of chaos. Music is noise that makes sense, and mathematics is rules for how the world works.

Pythagoras himself is best known for proving that the Pythagorean Theorem was true. The Sumerians, two thousand years earlier, already knew that it was generally true, and they used it in their measurements, but Pythagoras is said to have proved that it would always be true. We don't really know whether it was Pythagoras that proved it, because there's no evidence for it until the time ofEuclid, but that's the tradition. Some people think that the proof must have been written around the time of Euclid, instead."*

Funny soccer

Today Bahrain played against Iran in a soccer tournament. Bahrain was the away team while Iran were the home. Bahrain scored zero, Iran scorred 6. The point here is Iran won and Bahrain lost. Was it a fair match? Or was Iran cheatting? Or did the bahrain national team delibretly lose the game? Something is fishy! What's your opinion people? Fair not fair? Type.

What are the Arabs to me?

well, the Arabs to me are civilized people, although like all great societies are now passing threw some really rough patches. this time for them is like puberty. many people might consider the Arabs as savages or as Bedouins. people of the world would imagine them in tents, with camels, and smoking shesha. well the Arabs are actually in the developing process, some of them have even reached the stage that they are know on of the most developed countries in the world e.g. United Arabian Emirate, Dubai. And for every ones information, the Arabs are not good friends with Iran, for Iran has always wanted to take over the middle east and always wanted to spread it thoughts and governmental system. now, as i said, Arabs are actually peace full and aren't usually animals, but every one goes threw puberty, and most of you how have experienced it probably know that it is a time of disobedience, lies, and rebellious behaviour. so this is my opinion of the Arabs, and i don't see then as savages, but i sympathise because every great nation to be great needs to have a taste of whats sour. i am living among them, and i hear what each one has to say. Thanks :)
