Geometrical demostration of notable product (a + b)^2
Hello my friends on steemit, this is my first publication totally written in english and also is my first little article dedicated to science, specifically Mathematics and I wanted to start with something very common in algebra: the notable product.
We start considering two squares, one having equals sides labeled with the letter a, and its area is calculated by multiplying the sides: area = a x a = a^2 (see fiure 1)
(Figure 1)
The second square has sides labeled with letter b and its area, just like the other square will be b^2 (figure 2)
(Figure 2)
Next we will constuct two equals rectangles but with the following features: base = a, height = b and area = a x b (figure 3)
(Figure 3)
Now, we will put together all quadrilaterals to form one big square with sides equal to a + b (figure 4)
(Figure 4)
The area of this square we can compute as we know, multiplying side by side: (a + b) x (a + b) = (a + b)^2, but this multiplication is equal to the sumatory of the areas of each quadrilaters:
a^2 + b^2 + ab + ab.
Now, rearranging and placing both equalities we obtain the result we know
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2
In conclusion, we obtain a very well-known formula used in algebra from geometry, demostrating that all mathematics is derivated from geometry.
