Pythagorean Theorem

Intuitive

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

Concrete

$p^2+q^2=r^2$ if and only if the triangle is a right triangle

Abstract

The motto in this section is: the higher the level of abstraction, the better.

Why is it interesting?

The Pythagorean theorem enables us to draw accurate maps.
