Question (1) (i) Explain Pythagorean theorem in detail.

(ii) What is "Hippacus of Croton"?

● The pythagorian theorem

The pythagorian theorem is used to find a missing side of a right triangle.

It states that the square of the hypotenus of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides.

Let a be the hypotenus, b and c are the othet sides:

☆☆☆☆☆ a^2 = b^2 + c^2☆☆☆☆☆

There are more than 350 way to prove this theorem.

● Hippasus of Croton was a member of the highly-secretive school og Pythagoras in Croton. He is credited in history as the first person to prove the existence of irrational numbers.

step-by-step explanation:

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
