Introduction
A legend tells that Pythagoras discovered his theorem while he was waiting to be received by Polycrates. Sitting in a large hall of the tyrant of Samos' s palace Pythagoras began to observe the square tiles of the floor.
The Pythagorean theorem was once known as the "bridge of asses," the bridge that could overcome only those who showed to have sufficient aptitude for abstract thinking and a deductive method to be applied to mathematical procedures such as those proposed by the Pythagoreans.
Here's how Einstein recalled his first meeting with the theorem: I was 12 years old when my old uncle enunciated to me the theorem of Pythagoras, and after much effort I was able to prove it. It was a wonderful experience to discover how man is able to achieve such a level of certainty and clarity in pure thought. And the Greeks were the first to suggest the opportunity, with the geometry.
As Einstein you will able to prove, through this activity, the theorem and its applications.
