Pythagoras Irrational Numbers

Pythagoras Irrational Numbers If we talk about geometry then, all gone through Pythagoras theorem. Without this theorem trigonometry one of the major branches of mathematics is not possible, because all the basic formulas of trigonometry are biased on Pythagoras theorem. Pythagoras was the name of a Egyptians mathematician told us that if we have a triangle with sides 3,4,5 where 3 is the length of the base of the triangle, 4 is length of the perpendicular of the triangle and 5 is the hypotenuse of the given right angle triangle then according to Pythagoras the square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of the square of base and perpendicular When Pythagoras discovered the theorem the concept of irrational number was not known at the time but whenever you implement the Pythagoras theorem you will find the sides at 2, 3. As we know, that these all are irrational number but at

that time it was not known, so it will be very difficult to implement the Pythagoras theorem. A student of Pythagoras named Hippasus discovered the irrational number once he is performing a operation on a triangle and he founded a side as v2 and he tried hard to represent this number in to fraction but not able to succeed, then he given a theory in which he told that you couldnt write the square of 2 so it is a irrational number. Pythagoras believes that all the existing numbers are real numbers so he refused to accept the theory of his student Hippasus, but also he cant disapprove the theory of Hippasus. But, later the theory of Hippasus was accepted and now a day we use irrational numbers very frequently.
