We show how the basic notion of rational
trigonometry---quadrance---arises from the
geometry of the ancient Greeks. The
little-known sister theorem to Pythagoras
features prominently, and is closely related
to a theorem of Archimedes. Tags :quadrancetrigonometryrationaltriplequadformulaArchimedesPythagorasgeometry

Heron's formula, originally due to
Archimedes, is here recast in a simpler and
more natural form. And we prove it, using one
of the basic laws of rational trigonometry. Tags :Heron'sformulaArchimedesrationaltrigonometryquadrance
This is a quiz on Rational Trigonometry, with
seven interesting and challenging questions.
You can also try to solve them using
classical trigonometry---but remember: only
correct answers are allowed. Tags :RationalTrigonometryquizmathematicswildbergercirclesquadrancespread
