Chapter 229 Pythagorean Theorem

Seeing the bewildered expressions of several doctors, Yin Man was startled, leaned forward slightly, turned his face to take a look, and was stunned when the picture appeared in front of him.

She recognized the shape, it was a triclinic diagram.

She loved poetry and calligraphy, but was not very proficient in arithmetic, so she spread her hands to Li Zhao and clasped them aside.

She wasn't proficient, and the looks of the doctors didn't look good, so she didn't know if she could answer it. If she couldn't answer it, it would be a disaster, but when she saw Li Zhao next to her, she felt at ease...

With him around, nothing seems to be a problem.

The doctors circled the bamboo scroll, frowning, and scratching their hair from time to time, seemingly stumped.

"I have never seen this type of character, but I often hear about the three oblique pictures. It's just that it is very difficult to find the long oblique side. Do you have any clues?" A doctor shook his head and said. He is a great Confucian and is proficient in Confucianism, but he

Don't know much about arithmetic.

Several other people also shook their heads. They were also masters of Confucianism. They read Confucius and Mencius intensively, but ignored arithmetic.

In fact, it is no wonder that they have hundreds of schools of thought, all of which are contending with each other, especially Legalism, Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, etc., but some minor details are not taken seriously by others, and natural scholars are few and far between.

Seeing several people shaking their heads, Ying Zheng was startled. Huo Di stood up, pointed at them and cursed: "As a doctor, if you don't answer the question quickly, do you want to destroy the foundation of my country, the Qin Dynasty?"

If this problem cannot be solved, Jiaodong County must be ceded, which is no different from destroying the foundation of the Qin Dynasty.

When the doctors heard, who could bear such a crime, some people quickly knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down. We have racked our brains, but this question is extremely bizarre and does not seem like a human question. I am afraid it is a joke."

This person speaks his mind.

Indeed, this wording is strange, and the problem is even more difficult. There is absolutely no way to solve it, so how can we solve it?

"Absurd!" Youtu Anwen envoy came out angrily, pointing at the doctor and scolding him, "This is a serious question, it can be solved, but you are just stupid."

"That's right, you just say it's a joke when you can't answer. Is this what Dr. Da Qin is doing? It's so easy to laugh at." Someone in the mission made a mocking sound, with a very cold expression, but a look of success.

"Nonsense. It's obviously true." A doctor retorted, but he couldn't say anything, but was stopped by Ying Zheng. "Okay, don't say any more." Then he looked at Yin Man. At this moment, he could only rely on his daughter.

"Yin Man, is it possible to solve it?"

It was not surprising that Yin Man was asked this question, but she really didn't know how to do it. She couldn't help but gently touched Li Zhao with her hand, and Li Zhao laughed.

He also saw clearly the question in the bamboo scroll. Isn't this a right triangle? The right triangle has sides 3 and 4. This is a typical hook with three strands, four strings and five.

Compared with the doctors in previous lives, these doctors are really stupid. They can't even solve such simple questions.

However, after thinking about it again and again, I was relieved. Da Qin was keen on law, and he didn't study it specifically, so it was normal that he couldn't answer it.

In fact, such questions are not unrecorded in the Qin Dynasty. If his memory is not bad, "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" once recorded a conversation between Shang Gao and Zhou Gong. Shang Gao said: "Zheju, Gou Guangsan, Gu

"Cultivation four, corner five." It means: when the two right-angled sides of a right triangle are 3 (hook) and 4 (strand), the corner (chord) is 5.

This is the Pythagorean theorem of later generations.

And the numbers inside are also very obvious. The right-angled sides are 3 and 4, and the hypotenuse is naturally 5. It's a pity that these people can't answer it.

No, it should be that he looked down on these doctors. Maybe some of them had read it but didn't remember it very well, or they didn't recognize the number.

Numbers, haha, Li Zhao remembered, these are Arabic numerals. In fact, Arabic numerals were only introduced to China in the 13th and 14th centuries AD. Naturally, they did not exist in this period.

Naturally, these doctors have no idea where to start.

So, he walked to the corner again, took out a piece of paper and started writing, and soon gave it to Yin Man.
Chapter completed!
