Do you believe the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides?

I still think this is a basic question, but I've added a third option for people that don't know what I'm talking about.

Ah, ha. This one I'm sure of and can prove the result several ways, as long as we are talking about right triangles.

This one I will answer "yes" cuz it's more of a logic and understanding thing, not a possible finding different types of triangles thing.

You don't mention "right triangles."
If memory serves, the Pythagorean Theorem doesn't work for triangles other than right triangles.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

It is not true in general, but it is true for right angled triangles on a plane surface.

"Once upon a time, this Indian chief had 3 wives.

They all slept in the same tent. One on a Bisson skin, one on a Wolf skin and one on a Hippopotamus skin.

Then it came to pass that all of the wives became pregnant.

The one that slept on the Bisson skin had a baby boy, the one on the Wolf skin had a baby girl, and the other, on the Hippopotamus skin had twins (a baby boy and a baby girl).

Which just goes to proove that the squaw on the hippopotamus is equal to the sum of the sqaws on the other two hides

Sorry, but doesn't hypotenuse imply a Right Angled Trianagle?

I'm saving this one to share with the other faculty at work.

It does to me, but I'm beginning to think you have to be pretty cautious here in SC.

What about non-Euclidean geometry?

Need a fourth option! I'm a child of the '60s and '70s so....I really don't associate with squares.

It's a high-ranging, cannabis-eating animal that is a distant relative to the Moose family and a close relative of the Sri Lankan Spotted Bongtooter.

Always.

No guns needed. You just mention Al Gore and they'll laugh themselves to death.

Now, you've done it. I was hoping to remember without research. You're right - The side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse; it is the longest side in the right triangle. Quade's sneaky and I love these types of twisters. But, I think the Professor is going to get him.
