"firstly in one short sentence, what is it? did anyone ever get it, and does anyone actually use it on a daily basis???"

shit adds up, math for triangles,yes, nerdy science types.

gee, l will have to measure a triangle, here is my tape measure, measured, too fucking easy *lix*

It has to do with the right triangle. Every triangle has three sides and here angles. In the case of a right triangle, one angle is 90 degrees (a right angle). The side opposite that 90 degree angle (or right angle) is called the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean theorem states that if you squared the lengths off all three sides of the triangle, the sum of the squares of the shorter sides will add up to equal the square of the hypotenuse.

In other words, if the hypotenuse was side c and the other sides were labelled a and b then...

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Hope that helps

I suppose it depends what line of work you are in, as to if it is of any use or not ?

Yep, it's all about square hippopotamuses (or is that hippopotami??)

are you hy pot en use

what the fuck is pythager-arse?


Its an STD which leaves you unable to sitdown or engage in anal sex.

Basically a pain in the arse

Here's the "easier" geometry/picture method: Take 3 squares of any size, 1 larger than the other 2. Arrange them in a way that it creates a triangle in the middle. The sum of the area of the 2 smaller squares will equal the area of the larger square. Hence, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

This also is a lead-in to Fermat's :Last Theorem, which states no three positive integers a, b, and c satisfy the equation a^n + b^n = c^n for any integer n>2 (n=1, n=2 are trivial & have an infinite number of solutions).
