Geometry is traced for over 2000 years back from ancient Greece. World-renowned science pioneers like Pythagoras, Aristotle, and Euclid were greatly associated with geometry, which its real denotation could be established from the Greek language. ” Geos” in Greek is simply, earth and “metron” is referred to as measure. The technique used in measuring the earth is derived from geometry.
The science of geometry was widely used in building, surveying, astronomy, and even navigation. Geometrically these are objects with different shapes that can be viewed and summarized in ordinary knowledge, especially when an object is a cycle or a square. Children develop this intelligence during their childhood especially by playing with toys. There are some toys that children may like to use or to be associated with.
In the process of development different shapes of toys made in diverse proportions can help children advance natural knowledge on shapes and objects that eventually make them understand geometrical usage in some of them. Indeed some geometrical studies are got from school and others are developed as we heave ahead. A case of determining whether an object is straight or is at an angle of 90 degrees can be solved with the natural awareness of any normal person. In relation to the Pythagorean Theorem, there are categories to be used for a clear understanding as studies indicate.
In a right triangle, there is the familiarity of relationships that exists between the adjacent angles and the sides that give a clear proof of this theorem. The summary of this is that the squares seen on the other side of the right triangle are equivalent to the total of the square of the hypotenuse. In general knowledge, the three angles of any given triangle give us a sum of 180 degrees. In any angle whereby a triangle of 90 degrees has one side determined the other will automatically come out to add up to the total sum of 180 degrees. In this case, once one angle is known the sum of the other sides is the same despite the whole size of the triangle.
During the ancient ages, historians found out that the Pythagorean Theorem had its roots even from the ancient Chinese and Indians that were known to be practicing it before. Records show that in china a similar practice was there and was known as the Gougu theorem, While the Indians had their theorem Bhaskara. During the control of the great Hammurabi that was around 1750 BC, there were interrelations of the theorem (Mendelson 1964).
It will be remembered that Euclid played the most significant part in both ancient and modern time’s geometrical achievements. The geometry text he wrote known as Elements at that ancient time is still applied to the present world. In clear and simple terms, geometry is the study of the area, perimeter, angles volumes, mass, and triangles whereby mathematics is applied and endorsed. Legitimate inference and applications that have confrontational scholarly arguments. Argumentative reasons and ideas based on principles are termed logic. Conservatively logic was categorized to be on the philosophical side of studies.
Formal logic and its execution which resulted to the computing technology to the result of computer science Theories and statistical findings of this great scientist are remembered throughout the world and it is not easy to shift away from such a sparkling and crucial artifact of intelligence in earlier times, and the present world.
