no matter where or when the measurements are made, provides inductive support for the homogeneity, isotropy, and scale-invariance of the world. We can deduce the parallel postulate and other important elements of geometry from the Pythagorean theorem. Doesn't this seem like it makes more sense than trying to empirically verify the parallel-postulate? And at very large scales empirical support for the Pythagorean theorem fails, leading naturally to other geometries. Maybe somebody with greater wiki expertise could add a section on reverse mathematics atleast mentioning this perspective. The article introduction asserts that there are many ways to "prove" the Pythagorean theorem, but gives no clear acknowledgement of the parallel postulate or alternatives upon which proofs should be critiqued.

magnet. That sort of thing is only marginally effective at keeping the cruft out of the main article and instead encourages the accumulation of more cruft. Instead, keeping it only in this one article maintains the pressure to stay at roughly the amount of content that we already have: a properly sourced statement that there are huge numbers of proofs that you can find in certain books, and a small (and I hope carefully-curated) selection of proofs. —

of Book I of Euclid's Elements should likewise count as "trigonometry", including the Pythagorean theorem itself. By typical definitions of trigonometry, however, the subject involves some relation between lines and circular arclengths or angle measures, and really starts with Hipparchus; centuries-older approaches from Egypt and Mesopotamia are a kind of "proto-trigonometry" at best. –
787:. Any other trigonometric proof must use this foundational principle. All the proofs suggested in this talk page use this foundational principle and some other trigonometric properties. This makes them definively less interesting and less elegant than the proofs that are already there. So, they have a low encyclopedic value and do not deserve to be mentioned. 3073:(infinitely many) proofs of the Pythagorean theorem can't be in scope here, but the proofs can be categorized into 4–5 broad groups, and 1–3 notable examples from each group should be included on this page, irrespective of what material is included on other articles. Many are quite short or can be expressed pictorially. – 3135:
This may be the way to go. I am not familiar with these other ways. For example, I consider Knowledge to be fairly reliable because there are many good editors keeping an eye out for quality; are these other options as reliable in practice and by reputation? Because, if not, I'd like there to be a

I am inclined against this, on general following-the-sources grounds. In my experience, the texts that cover the Pythagorean theorem at an introductory level don't just apply it; they prove it in one or more ways. We'd be the oddballs if we separated the proofs out entirely. Doing mundane cleanup and

A couple more notes: Even if the article is split at least 5–6 different proofs should be covered in detail on the main page, taking roughly as much space they currently take. I'm concerned that an explicit article about proofs would become an indiscriminate grab-bag of mediocre crap, and it would be

I don't have time now, tho maybe i'll do this myself later. (1) All figures should be numbered, and referred to by number in the text, not just in this section but over the entire article. A good way would be to number sections and do Figure 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, etc. so renumbering does not have to occur

Whether the seqed is part of trigonometry is a semantic dispute rather than a historical/factual one. The seqed is not relevant to the type of "trigonometry" intended when someone says "trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem". By any definition that includes the seqed as "trigonometry", most

Yes but there is the rub. Knowledge is fairly reliable and you have good editors keeping an eye because we restrict our content. That exactly a reason to avoid long proofs or list of long proves as their verification takes more time/resources and they are less likely to be checked in detail by other

Pythagorean theorem dates from more than 1,000 years; trigonometry date from more than 500 years. Since them, hundred of great mathematicians have studied their relationship. So it is very unlikely that something really new can be found on this subject. So, for mentioning Zimba's proof, one requires

There are literally hundreds of proofs of the theorem, maybe thousands. Picking out and including only one of these, sourced only to its primary publication, makes no sense, because there is no clear selection criterion for it that would not also cause us to also include hundreds of other proofs.

I would like to see that split. I think that readers who are looking for multiple proofs can be substantially different from readers who are looking to learn non-proof aspects of the Pythagorean theorem. I think that fully supporting both goals, now and into the future, will make a single article

The problem with numbering the figures in semi-popular Knowledge articles is that the numbering very rarely stays up to date as many Wikipedians make slight changes here and there. It takes someone constantly checking to maintain the numbering. Per the manual of style, sections " not be numbered or

In your proof, you assume that sin α = cos β and sin γ = sin(α + β)=1 - I'm not sure that this assumptions are independent of Pythagorean theorem - you also didn't explain where you got these assumptions from? (from geometry - triangle?). Zimba assumptions was weaker than your - he use arbitrary x

It would be nice to add this to the article, in the "Trigonometric Proofs" section. (I'm not sure how to present this proof myself.) — 1438:
The fact that a proof is sourced from a unreliable source does not means that there are not reliable sources for this proof. In fact, the Cut-the-knot page for the algebraic proof refers to several older sources (one is almost 2,000 years old). On the other hand, the Cut-the-knot page for Zimba's

I'm inclined against this on somewhat different grounds: having an article specifically devoted to collecting proofs of the theorem seems likely to grow into a huge indiscriminate collection of proofs, something that I do not think would make for a good encyclopedia article. It would be a cruft

Until the middle of the 19th century, all axioms of mathematics were abstractions of empirical experiments. You are talking of the relationship between the parallel postulate and the Pythagorean theorem. It is true that for proving the Pythagorean theorem, one needs the parallel postulate or

I'm not sure why he couldn't have simply specified the value of those functions at those points and then shown that the subtraction formulas still work when one or more of their inputs are in this expanded domain. Perhaps he considered that less elegant than the approach he did take. 1743:, but otherwise it works. However, big picture, I am neutral as to whether this is sufficiently noteworthy and interesting; if no other editor chimes in, don't let me stop you from deleting the section. (But if there is some support, maybe let's mend it rather than end it.) Thanks — 2874:
If the alternative way is keeping them in the article, the scenario I imagined would probably restructure sections in which the article presents the statement of theorem and its converse firstly and then a single proof of the theorem, and add the link, redirecting the latter section.

The criterion for it is that is very short, simple and use only calculations without involving geometry (in direct way) like other proofs. So it can be very useful especially for people who hat not goot geometrical intuition (so we are dealing here with usability for a wider

In any event, it is certainly the case that you could reshuffle your set of axioms to include the Pythagorean relation, if you wanted to. I'm not sure to what extent, if any, discussing this point is super useful in the context this page.

If you want this perspective to be represented in the article, you are going to need to find published and scholarly sources that express the same sentiments. We cannot add material based purely on the musings of random Knowledge editors.

Given that the norm of a cross product is a sine times the vector lengths and the dot product is a cosine times the vector lengths, it is pretty straightforward to plug these into a Pythagorean theorem. I'd do it with

This is missing the point. Arguments here for why it's a good proof are not what is needed to justify its inclusion. If nobody has written secondary sources singling it out as a good proof, we cannot include it.
