A practical example of Pytagoras theorem in daily life

In day to day life especally in technical related subjects you will find practical use of the Pythagoras theorem. For example a carpenter when a house is being build, who uses the 3,4,5 rules to allign doors and window 90 degees straight up.

How does this work? The carpenter prepares three beams with lenghts 3, 4 and 5 meter, or other lengths with the same ratio like 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 meter. How does he use these beams to align the door or window?

He creates a triangle with 1.5m vertical, 2 m horizontal and 2.5 meter sloped.

What do you see. The 1.5m length beam is exactly straight up, and can be used to align the door or window to the correct position.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am Onno from Leiden, born here in 1958 and also living. I studied HTS-Electronics during which a lot of exact subjects such as mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, mechanics are taught. My high school education has also been exact and I have 40 years of experience in business with application of these subjects. I really enjoy helping young people get started in these subjects and through my years of practical experience I am well able to convert theoretical issues into practical everyday examples with the aim of making what has to be learned easier to digest.

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I started my secondary education in the Netherlands at HAVO, and emigrated to South Africa in the 3rd grade. There I obtained my secondary school diploma in all exact subjects and then went on to study HTS Electrical Engineering/Telecommunication.

Experience / Qualifications

Marina
Math , Science and English Tutoring Classes offered
I have finished my undergraduate studies in engineering in USA and I have always been passionate about teaching kids Math and Science. I have 3 years of tutoring experience after I finished my studies . My Math classes are very interactive, with lots of new material to learn and an interesting and fun environment for children to learn.

Xavier
Mathematics and Physics for School students or Mathematics for University students
I teach mathematics at all levels, from basic algebra for school students to calculus for university students. The students can choose the course to be either a homework-aid, or revision on the learnt material, or previewing on some new knowledge that they will need, or even some more adavanced stuff. Not only will I keep the student practicing with various and but not tedious task, but I will also teach how to tackle and think mathematically. I could also teach physics for school level.

Paul
Chemistry and mathematics, together we determine the objective
Chemistry from VMBO to VWO (also 2-language education) and International school. Lessons depend on the question with which the student/student is involved. Mathematics depends on the problem. We define the objective in advance and the feasibility is tested. 100% commitment of the student is appreciated. I have taught at the Inholland University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam (Chemistry). Do homework and give tutoring. In addition, I am currently supervising students from an International School.

Raoul
Tutoring Mathematics, Logic, VMBO, HAVO, VWO, Leiden at Home
I am a 26 year old Mathematics and Philosophy student at Leiden University and I have been tutoring Maths B privately since 2019. Teaching is one of my passions. Over the years I have often seen that many students who have difficulty with math can easily pass if we practice together enough and I explain the material to them in a slightly different way than they are used to.

Margherita
science (tutoring in chemistry, physics and math).
I have former experiences teaching math and chemistry at high high school. I would I gladly help English speaking students in their path through science. I can provide tutoring sessions in chemistry, math and physics for high school. My goal is to help students learn and understanding the world around us in a simple a concrete way.

Cagatay
MATHEMATICS FOR ALL GRADES: UK & NEDERLANDS CURRICULUM
I have worked as a high school math teacher since 2006 in different countries. I have been teaching mainly the UK curriculum. I encourage learning by using a number of different manipulatives, hands-on activities, and various forms of technology. By incorporating discussions, open-ended questions, and cooperative learning I am able to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive learning atmosphere. In addition, I utilize weekly quizzes and monthly tests to track student progress, locate areas of weakness, and prepare students for finals exams.

Banafshe
Physics and Mathematics: Think like a professional!
I specialize in teaching physics to students of any level and also to candidates of Olympiad of physics. I give detailed and precise description of subjects in a way that student understands the meaning and origin of the field. My goal is to change the viewpoint of students in physics and encourage them to look deeper, more precise and more outside the box!

Roland
Science, math, other subjects - test preparation and tutoring
Do you have difficulty grasping science and math concepts? Let me help! I can also help with other subjects. I can help you write reports, prepare for standardized tests or for exams at school. I will tailor the sessions to your wishes and needs.

Irina
Mathematics for Children, customized to their way of thinking
I studied the University of Mathematics and I have an experience of over 7 years in teaching mathematics to children. I'm passionate about children's development and mathematics, hence I'm combining the two to motivate children and to explain through various methods adjusted to their way of thinking and understanding. Majority of my previous students were admitted and graduated universities around the world, on topics that have mathematics as a background (e.g. architecture, construction engineering). I'm currently working for a software company, but I'm willing to dedicate the afternoons/weekends to supporting kids learn and develop.

Ritesh
Master your Mathematics and Physics with easy steps
I am an Aerospace engineer, specialized in tutoring maths and physics to all levels of students. I have unique and easy methods to make students understand the subject. This class is for anyone struggling with science in general. I can assure you will never be left behind in your class and in life.

Pratik
Maths and English for children, teenagers and adults
Teaching is a skill and I'm passionate about it. I've taught Mathematics and English to 7&8 year old children for 2 years in Eindhoven. I can find creative ways to explain complicated concepts for children. If you need Maths or English lessons for children, I'll be glad to help :)

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
