Angie, that's not the theorem. the Pythagorean theorem states that "the sum of the SQUARES of two sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypoteneuse". no ×2 is in it at all.

Angie, Which was already well known long before Phythagoras 'discovered'. Also, calling him a mathematician is a bit misleading. He was more of a philosopher and founder of an almost cult-like group. He had someone thrown off a boat to drown when they proved that the square root of 2 is irrational.

Ellipsoid and Parallelogram are shapes Hypotenuse is the longest side of a/the triangle (the slanted slope of it) This question honestly shows how many people are poor/bad at Maths 😢
