Basel's Problem

1+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9}+\cdots = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^2}=\frac{\pi ^2}{6}



Now you might be thinking - "How on earth are they even related!!"

Well the reasoning is a bit too long to write it all out in this one post.
I suggest you have a look at this brilliant article by Mikael Passare -How to Compute \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n^2} by Solving Triangles

Sum of odd numbers

Image
Proof of 1+3+5+\cdots = n^{2} Count the number of balls in the L shaped regions.Notice that they are odd numbers. Furthermore,count the number of balls considering the length or the breadth(they will turn out to be the same). Sum of all balls = (number of balls on the length)^{2}.

Viviani's Theorem

Image
Viviani's Theorem states that for any point \mathcal{P} inside an equilateral triangle \mathcal{ABC} the sum of the lengths of perpendiculars drawn from P on the sides is equal to the length of the altitude.    Draw equilateral triangles from that point onto the sides of the triangle such that these 3 perpendiculars are the altitudes of the equialteral triangles.Now rotate the triangles as shown.Now it can be easily seen that the sum of the 3 perpendiculars=perpendicular of the  \Delta ABC
