Question

Write a short biography on a great mathematician Thales and Explain any one theorem given by Thales . Limits ( 150 to 200 words)

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Thales, an engineer by trade, was the first of the Seven Sages, or wise men of Ancient Greece. Thales is known as the first Greek philosopher, mathematician and scientist. He founded the geometry of lines, so is given credit for introducing abstract geometry.

He was the founder of the Ionian school of philosophy in Miletus, and the teacher of Anaximander. During Thales' time, Miletus was an important Greek metropolis in Asia Minor, known for scholarship. Several schools were founded in Miletus, attracting scientists, philosophers, architects and geographers

It is possible that Thales has been given credit for discoveries that were not really his. He is known for his theoretical as well as practical understanding of geometry. Thales is acknowledged by a number of sources as the one who defined the constellation Ursa Minor and used it for navigation. Some believe he wrote a book on navigation, but it has never been found.

Answer 2

Answer:

Biography of Thales:–

• In every ancient culture, there are signs that people used mathematics. They used math to make calendars, to build pyramids, to divide farmland. There is plenty of evidence that people everywhere used math, but it's hard to tell how deep were the theoretical studies of mathematics. The matter is complicated by the fact that most writings from ancient times have been. And knowledge existed long before writing-wisdom was passed on by speech. The best we can do is find the first person who is credited with a specific mathematical. That person is an ancient Greek scholar named Thales. Thales lived from roughly 625BC to 550BC. He was born in the ancient Greek city of Miletus, which today is located on the most of the countries of today did not exist during the time of Thales, and those that are still around had different borders thousands of years ago.

Thales theorem:–

180° = 1 + 1 + 2 + 2

180° = 2(41) + 2(42)

90° = 41 + 42

2b + 2a = 180

b + a = 90
