The Pythagorean Geometric Gear
Teia, Luis
Australian Mathematics Education Journal, v3 n4 p35-42 2021
Discovering the implications of a theorem takes time. This process relates to fundamental theorems, such as the Pythagorean theorem, and practically has intemporal ramifications. After all, new proofs are still being discovered today (Scimone, 2009). The theorem in itself is not changing, but rather our perspective of it is. That is, the implications of such theorems evolve alongside cultural, scientific and technological advancements. The purpose of this paper is to explore new geometrical relations in the Pythagorean theorem, and open doors for new interpretations of the physical world. Pythagoras is included in secondary education around the world including in "Australian Curriculum" (ACARA, n.d.), and hence this paper will be of interest to all.
