    Geometry on Khan Academy: We are surrounded by space. And that space contains lots of things. And these things have shapes. In geometry we are concerned with the nature of these shapes, how we define them, and what they teach us about the world at large--from math to architecture to biology to astronomy (and everything in between). Learning geometry is about more than just taking your medicine ("It's good for you!"), it's at the core of everything that exists--including you. Having said all that, some of the specific topics we'll cover include angles, intersecting lines, right triangles, perimeter, area, volume, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, analytic geometry, and geometric constructions. Wow. That's a lot. To summarize: it's difficult to imagine any area of math that is more widely used than geometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    And it seems in many schools, teachers suffice themselves with teaching you how to solve a problem without telling you why that works. And I personally believe retention is better attaned when one nows why something works just as much as when they learn how to do the something.

    this is not a prove this is a example that shows the assumption is correct. prove should be showing how it is possible and why is it . Pythagorean theorem is still one theory that has no prove just like PI.

    • @thenawabgaming
      @thenawabgaming 7 лет назад

      I might doubt that. Pythagorean theorem has many proof including one consisting of using the proportionality of sides and formulae to calculate their squares

      Let there be a right triangle with sides of length a, b and c with c being the hypotenuse, then it holds that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
      Proof.
      The one in the video since it can be applied to any right triangle.
      I think you don't understand the way mathematical proofs work
