Pythagorean Theorem

Intuitive

The Pythagorean theorem states a relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle where $a$ and $b$ represent the sides that form the right angle and $c$ is the longest side.

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.
