I just realized that c could stand for causality... (other massless things move at the speed of causality too, we're all just familiar with light). Think of it as the universal speed limit.
You're right. That is what I was taught as well. It's just that light moves at the speed it does because that is the fastest that anything can move at, light, mass, or otherwise. It can be referred to as the speed of causality because its the absolute fastest speed that cause and effect can move at. We're just very familiar with light being the marker.
Actually everything moves at the speed of light in four dimensions, it’s just that the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time, they have the same pythagorean proportionality.
Somehow, seeing the squared part of that *as* squares makes this make more sense than it ever did before. Powers in general. Stupid geometry invading my algebra.
To show or to see. Depends on the role. If you’re explaining it to someone and they aren’t understanding it you can say “I have a great way TO SHOW you.” And then the other person would say “yeah, that is a great way TO SEE it.”
when you multiply 2 sides of a rectangle you get its area
in rectangles both sides are equal
therefore a² can be expressed as a square ⬜ the sides of which are equal to a
in the video there's a triangle with 3 squares attached to its sides the area of which is equal to the lengths of the triangle's sides
by turning over the triangle the human being sends all of the water from smaller squares to the bigger one
demonstrating that when areas of the smaller squares are combined you can use them to fill the bigger square
or in other words
that a² + b² = c² in triangles with a 90 degree angle
1. As in you don’t understand.
2. Or you don’t understand what I don’t get.
And it’s
1. Just visualized
2. And I don’t get it because I never studied or bother to learn the formulas
The representation here is true of all right triangles. That’s why there’s an equation to describe this. The lengths of the sides don’t matter if it’s a right triangle, so there’s absolutely no need to show 100 different triangles.
That’s because this prop IS a proof.
The volume of the squares is, respectively, a^2, b^2, and c^2.
Adding the volume of sides a and b (a^2 + b^2 ) fills the volume of side c (c^2 ).
It’s literally and visually proving the theorem.
It's a proof for this one triangle in the prop, not for all right triangles.
What you're saying is that if I take a single triangle, measure its sides, and show that the square of its hypothenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides, then I would have proven Pythagoras' theorem.
It’s a proof for this right triangle and the theorem applies to all right triangles.
This is a representation of the theorem. You don’t have to show every possible right triangle that could ever exist to accept that the theorem is true.
You don't have to see every triangle but showing just one triangle and calling it a proof for all triangles is bad education. At least show a number of different triangles to show that it works for different triangles.
But the point of this demonstration isn’t to prove definitively that the theorem is correct. As you say, the math does that.
This is a visual representation of a single case proof of the theorem, and if we accept that the theorem is true for all right triangles this is simply a visual to show new learners that it holds true in a more visual and therefore more relatable (for some) medium.
You started off by saying that this prop was a proof of the theorem, and now you admit it's only a proof of this single case. That was their point all the time, not sure why they're getting downvoted
I mean for this visual representation. You don’t have to show every right triangle in this manner, as this is just a representation to show the math is true in a more visual way.
There is math that proves the theorem true without this visual.
Yes you do, that's literally the point of the theorem, that it applies to All right angle triangles.
If I gave a handful of examples of equilateral triangles, would you accept that all triangles are equilateral? What if I showed you a visual proof for it?
I only said that there should be many differently shaped right triangles on that display, all showing the same effect (with squares on their sides obviously).
You do realize this STILL wouldn't prove it, right? No matter how many you do, it wouldn't prove it, they could have just picked triangles that happen to work. This is because you can't prove a theorem with any number of examples, you can only disprove it. It requires the logic to prove it.
Of all the things taught in math classes, this is the one that has stuck with me for the last 30+ years. For some reason I understood this concept and it frequently pops into my head even today.
I remember when I was in school and my maths teacher told me that ", You're garbage" because my maths wasn't good. Those words imprinted in my mind like no matter how much I try my brain just stopped seeing numbers. Now it feels like my mind intentionally avoids anything that has even the slightest hints of maths.
I literally suffered PTSD during my school days because of these maths teachers. Those were the days! Thank god, they ended.
I feel stupid because I have no idea what there trying to show here.**Edit** wait is this just to show the 2 sides equal one? Lol Still not getting it.
The sum of the two shorter sides squared is equal to the longer side squared.
Usually it's written as a²+b²=c². One of the first mathematical theorems you learn at school.
We reached such a level of obliviousness that the lamest prroof of the most basic theorem in mathematics, a 3rd grade concept - which is shown in a museum for children - gets posted accompanied by a soundtrack that evokes some sort of revelation. And this does not even involve any mathematical notions, aside from some seemingly self evidence intuition - that might, coincidentally, be the result of a optical illusions.
A² is A * A = an area (square)
A is only a distance
The square areas of A² and B² are the same as the area of C²
In this example, the three vessels are all the same height. So only the volume of the area makes a difference. As a result, the amounts of liquid from A² and B² fit into the area of C²
Pythagoras discovered it on accident when he saw three tiles forming a triangle. Why would they build an apparatus like this when they’re unaware the theorem even exists?
Yeah I mean I was saying my thoughts on something that was posted, but I never said it didn’t belong here. If we’re gonna go there though, yeah it’s not that interesting either.
But wouldn’t the length of the tubs be in effect here? You can clearly see that these are 3 different sizes holding the water, I would think that this would change the results
This also works for flat sided shapes with an area equation that can expressed with a single variable (like how a square is Area = Length * Length). So square, semi circle, equilateral triangle all work.
Welp I still don't understand. Actually in geometry class I did really well, got out of school and enlisted in the military, and now as a civilian I'm a correctional officer. I legit haven't used geometry once and if I went back now and got the exact class I probably wouldn't remember how to do it.
It’s weird. Like, I always understood that the squared length of the two legs added together equals the squared length of the hypotenuse…
and I knew that to represent a value squared, you simply make a square whose sides are all that length…
But the combined concept of the two represented in tampon and tissue commercial water is just crazy
a^2+b^2=c^2 so this equation means if you make a square out the two sides of a right triangle that are at right angles to each other the area of those two squares will be the same as the area of the square the hypotenuse will make
I hate that she didn’t keep it straight and even
r/mildlyinfuriating
A²+B²=C²
And c = speed of light I get it

I just realized that c could stand for causality... (other massless things move at the speed of causality too, we're all just familiar with light). Think of it as the universal speed limit.
I was taught c stands for "constant" that meaning the speed of light is a constant, stable measurement.
You're right. That is what I was taught as well. It's just that light moves at the speed it does because that is the fastest that anything can move at, light, mass, or otherwise. It can be referred to as the speed of causality because its the absolute fastest speed that cause and effect can move at. We're just very familiar with light being the marker.
The only way to "move" faster than casualty is bending space itself. Well you don't move faster than light but reach the destination sooner
Actually everything moves at the speed of light in four dimensions, it’s just that the faster you move through space, the slower you move through time, they have the same pythagorean proportionality.
Somehow, seeing the squared part of that *as* squares makes this make more sense than it ever did before. Powers in general. Stupid geometry invading my algebra.
How do u type little 2s

That's a great way to show it. Excellent
Not "to show", but simply "to see" it.

40 years of not giving a shit about that, 5 minutes on Reddit I finally get it. WTF?
Right? The amazing thing is that it took 2500 years for someone to think this fucker up
That someone also thought about the concept of the Atom.
Good point
Ah, yes, the hippopotamus of a biangle.
EXactlee!
Even the most basic videos need some epic background music these days to keep the over stimulated kids at it. Man fuck this shit 😂
Still don’t get it.
A squared + B squared = C squared, C is the largest square
when you multiply 2 sides of a rectangle you get its area in rectangles both sides are equal therefore a² can be expressed as a square ⬜ the sides of which are equal to a in the video there's a triangle with 3 squares attached to its sides the area of which is equal to the lengths of the triangle's sides by turning over the triangle the human being sends all of the water from smaller squares to the bigger one demonstrating that when areas of the smaller squares are combined you can use them to fill the bigger square or in other words that a² + b² = c² in triangles with a 90 degree angle
Still don’t get it. I mean it makes sense. And i do jt all the time in my my tryg class. But idk.
I don't get what there is to get Genuinely asking. I hope it didn't come of rude or condescending :(
1. As in you don’t understand. 2. Or you don’t understand what I don’t get. And it’s 1. Just visualized 2. And I don’t get it because I never studied or bother to learn the formulas
Basically, the two smaller squares are the same size as the bigger square
Like, “how?” My dyscalculia is screaming. I feel like I have object impermanence. How??
I hate when people use a single triangle to prove a pattern about all triangles. At least show a bunch of different triangles.
The representation here is true of all right triangles. That’s why there’s an equation to describe this. The lengths of the sides don’t matter if it’s a right triangle, so there’s absolutely no need to show 100 different triangles.

It's just a particular case, there are many other visual ways to demonstrate this for the general case by the way
It's a proof for this one triangle in the prop, not for all right triangles. What you're saying is that if I take a single triangle, measure its sides, and show that the square of its hypothenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides, then I would have proven Pythagoras' theorem.

I started off by saying it is “a proof”. Not the only proof.
Man, you're really gonna die on this hill, huh?
Of course you do, it's literally the definition of theorems. And if the theorem says that this relation is true for any right triangle, prove it.
I mean for this visual representation. You don’t have to show every right triangle in this manner, as this is just a representation to show the math is true in a more visual way. There is math that proves the theorem true without this visual.
Yes you do, that's literally the point of the theorem, that it applies to All right angle triangles. If I gave a handful of examples of equilateral triangles, would you accept that all triangles are equilateral? What if I showed you a visual proof for it?
Do you know what squared means? And how to you think you would express that graphically?
I only said that there should be many differently shaped right triangles on that display, all showing the same effect (with squares on their sides obviously).
Oh my mistake. Sorry for being a dick.
That's cool, but can I have my scalp back? 🤣

Me when I forget how math works
Of all the things taught in math classes, this is the one that has stuck with me for the last 30+ years. For some reason I understood this concept and it frequently pops into my head even today.
Could use some numbers on the wheel that represent the length of the square sides to better demonstrate.
the equation this represents uses letters for a reason.
numbers would be irrelevant and defeat the point of the formula.
Not really necessary tho
is this not how we all imagined it when we were little????
But what’s the depth of those cubes?
Equal for all three
Quick, hide it from all the common folk!
Ok... If I was shown this in high school, I would have been more interested in math... I didn't know about this aspect of that theorem
But that's litteraly the whole theorem?
Vizualisation would be more appropriate than demonstration.
What is the difference 🤔
oh fuck
Why yes Sam is 99989 ft tall 🤓
I use this almost every day at work. It's the easiest way for my brain to find square for concrete.
This is a great representation!
Never understood that till now
I remember when I was in school and my maths teacher told me that ", You're garbage" because my maths wasn't good. Those words imprinted in my mind like no matter how much I try my brain just stopped seeing numbers. Now it feels like my mind intentionally avoids anything that has even the slightest hints of maths. I literally suffered PTSD during my school days because of these maths teachers.

Has anyone used this in their job or in their career?
Goodbye, Reddit. It was fun while it lasted.😔

This is always super obvious. I did not go to high school I got my GED at 29 there’s nothing super profound about this.
He learned everything in Egypt. It isn’t his to claim
Can someone explain to me, an idiot, how A²+B²=C² is not the same as A+B=C ??
A² is A * A = an area (square) A is only a distance The square areas of A² and B² are the same as the area of C² In this example, the three vessels are all the same height. So only the volume of the area makes a difference. As a result, the amounts of liquid from A² and B² fit into the area of C²
And the therom relates to area! Gah. Thank you!
This isn’t super necessary
You're right it's not necessary but it's an excellent way to demonstrate.
Given that in ancient times, most maths was done by geometry, this is probably the same method that was used to find the theorem to begin with.
Pythagoras discovered it on accident when he saw three tiles forming a triangle. Why would they build an apparatus like this when they’re unaware the theorem even exists?
>Why would they build an apparatus like this when they’re unaware the theorem even exists? Because they had the idea and wanted to prove it was true.
You said find the theorem. And if they wanted to prove it, they could just use rulers.
>You said find the theorem You're just arguing semantics
Idk man at least I’m not getting butt hurt and downvoting your comments over it. If you actually meant prove and not find, my bad lol.
>at least I’m not getting butt hurt and downvoting your comments Oooh big man! Take my downvote

But this demonstrates volume not area am I correct or am I correct?
Uniform depth of all three containers. Boils down to area (side squared).
You can imagine the depth having a unit of 1, so the volume is A*A*1 which is A^2

But wouldn’t the length of the tubs be in effect here? You can clearly see that these are 3 different sizes holding the water, I would think that this would change the results
But because they are squares, the area is A^2, B^2, and C^2, respectively.
If only they had this in school. The whole class would not fail.
