Angel,
I thought it is the sum of the squares of the hypotenuse and the other two sides?
If a geometric number is multiplied by itself it describes a two dimensional “ square” which then becomes an area

They have this all wrong. It has nothing to do with the area. It is the length! They need to employ a mathematician if they are going to use mathematical examples.
