Who here hate the polythegram therum

me I HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT TTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEE it!

*Woooooooot* spam alert!

now that thats out of the way

I think you mean the pythagoreum theorem. and i love it. it has helped me alot in Alg II

i think its pretty fun (in a weird way) if you know the triples

Actually it's the pythagorus theorem, and it is wonderful. But it's just a special case of the cosine law, which is C^2=A^2+B^2-2ABcos(c). Not that you really needed to know that...

oops my mistake. sorry all if it now seems like spam

...and the reason it works is because the cosine of C on a right triangle is equal to 0, right?

C²=A²+B²-2ABcos(C)

For right triangles, C=90, so cos(90)=0, so 2AB*0=0 which cancels it to C²=A²+B², right? (I haven't learned this in school yet, my brother was trying to teach me)

[Diamond187]

yeah, that's exactly why it works

Being a spelling bee, I'm feel forced to say it's "pythagorean theorem".

And the award for worst attempt at spelling it goes to whokilledbambi? with his winning answer of "polythegram therum".

Congratulations!
