Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean Theorem states that if Pedestrian A attempts to cross in front of car B at anything less than a 90 degree perpendicular angle, we can conclude that Pedestrian A is getting cut off.
"John (the model citizen) used the Pythagorean Theorem to determine it was faster to cross the road in a straight line, rather than diagonally."

Prepositional-Proposition Theorem

In the case where the prepositional phrase “in bed” is added to the end of a fortune cookie saying, the entire phrase will always makes sense and could potentially make you more appealing to your date.
In an attempt to captivate and entice Jill, Matt applied the Prepositional-Proposition Theorem to his fortune cookie saying and announced “Your talents will be recognized and you will be rewarded...in bed.” Unfortunately, his date Jill was not impressed.

Denis' Theorem

Denis' Theorem - also known as the Denis idea or Denis' identity - is The idea that there are two kinds of people.
The first type of people are Denis, generally slouched lazy people. They wear baggy sweatpants, are very bad at maths and have a thing for bigger girls.
The second type is that of the non-denis, people of non-denis decent are people who don't find themselves under the criteria of a Denis found above. Therefore everybody is either Denis or non-denis.
Person 1 (a non-denis): 'That guy is a total Denis, he got a D on his last maths test. Just look at him, he's letting his girlfriend Scran all his Din Dins!'
Person 2 (also a non-denis): 'I know right, look at his slouched posture and baggy sweatpants, what a Denis. We're far superior to him, Denis' Theorem I guess...'

Woodbury Theorem

A theorem stating that any sentence can be altered to end in the word bitch and it will still make sense and be appropriate.

Also known as The Woodbury Theory of Bitchitude.

pythagoras theorem

Using Pythagoras Theorem, the third side of a right-angled triangle can be calculated when two sides are given.

Suppose A = length of hypotenuse and
B & C = lengths of the sides containing the right angle

Then (A^2) = (B^2)+(C^2)

Proof:

If a = angle opposite side A ( =90 degrees)

b = angle opposite side B

c = angle opposite side C

then B = A sin a and C = A cos a

Squaring and adding,we get the result.
Pythagorean triplets:

3,4,5

5,12,13

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!
