Pythagorean Theorem

1. In geometry, a theorem stating that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (legs). If the hypotenuse is c units long and the lengths of the legs are a and b, then c2 = a2 + b2. The theorem provides a way of calculating the length of any side of a right triangle if the lengths of the other to sides are known.

2. Something the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz was unable to correctly state even after he received his brains from the wizard.
-The Pythagorean Theorem? Who needs it? Some smart little preppy kid who's gonna save the world someday?
-Actually you need it to pass this geometry test asshole! If you don't pass this you stay back another year!

Pythagoras Position

The Pythagoras position is where 3 people engage in oral and traditional sex while in the shape of a right triangle. One person lays on the ground and fucks one person and eats our the other person. The people on the top of the position make out. This produces a right triangle shape, hence the name, Pythagoras Position.
*note: requires one male
*note: can be done in both a vertical or horizontal position
Jane, Beth, and Billy created Pythagoras Position last night.

The Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem is a theorem that calculates the hypotenuse of a triangle; the formula being a^2+b^2=c^2, c being the hypotenuse and a & b being the legs of the triangle.

This theorem contains exponential expression & square roots. An example or this theorem is 9^2+12^2=c^2. First we need to calculate 9^2 and 12^2, which is 81 and 144. Next, we add them, you should get 225. Lastly, √225=15, so c=15.
Person 1: 6^2+8^2=14^2

Person 2: Wrong, 6^2 and 8^2 is 36 and 64, 36+64=100, √100=10

Person 1: Now that makes sense! How'd you get that

Pathianism

1. Any phrase that has an underlying sexual meaning - regardless of meaning.

2. To take any phrase and "edit" it slightly to have a sexual meaning.

3. Any phrase which purely sexual in meaning.

4. The combination of 2 or more innocent words into a sexual word sometimes with odd meanings or sounds.
1. I'd like to take you somewhere.......now thats a pathianism

2. I'd like to take you to my bed......now thats a pathianism

3. I'd like to take you.......now thats a pathianism

4. Front & Bottom = Frontbottom......now thats a pathianism

Pythagoras Switch

A japanese Kids show made popular by it's fansubbing by the acclaimed dattebayo. This show opens and ends with crazy complex "Pythagoras Switches" which usually involve marbles, dominos and tubes. At the end or each of these rube Goldberg inventions the name of the show is revealed followed by children singing "Pitagora Suicchi". Because it's a kids show it tries to teach basic speech skills making it a fun way for the average English speaking japanophile to get a beginners grasp of Japanese. The show has also gained some popularity over you-tube which is filled with people performing the so called "algorithm march" which is usually done by tmen in suits in the middle of the show. They often have accompanyment in the form of soccer teams, and ninjas.

pythagoras' theorum

See pythagoras.


Pythagors' theorum allows one to calculate the lenght of the "opposite" side (That is, opposite to the right angle) in a right-angled triangle By knowing only the lengths of the other two sides. It can also be mixed with the sine and cosine rules, trigonometry and such to calculate every angle and side length in pretty much any structure. Practical uses involve the measurement of buildings and such.

The method:


•Use the same unit of measurement for all sides.
•Sqaure the lengths of the two shorter sides
•Add the sqaures of the numbers toghether
•Find the sqaure root of that number
•Your answer is the length of the longest side.
|\
A| \C
|__\
. B


Side A is 5cm, side B is 4cm and side C is unknown.

A- 5x5= 25 square cm
B- 4x4= 16 square cm

25+16= 36

Square root of 36= 6.

Side C is 6cm.


Of course, this can also be worked backwards to find the length of the smaller sides, provided there are at least two sides given.

If you try to practically apply this with any lengths other than those given, you will end up with decimals. The above example is the only one that does not end in decimal places.

Pythagorean Theorem

A savage sexual position where the male contorts his body into the shape of a triangle while placing his foot onto the females head. Once in the "Pythagorean Theorem" position, he proceeds to viciously insert his erect phallus into her anus.
