The architecture shows stunning accuracy, prompting some archaeologists to suggest they had instruments with which surveyors could offset right angles.
Prim, right-angled paths neatly bordered with clamshells, intersected it like moist red ribbons and in the beds between old-fashioned flowers ran riot.
But how do we know that the theorem is true for every right triangle on a flat surface, not just the ones these mathematicians and surveyors knew about?
Thanks to a phenomenon known as the Magnus effect (which also helps spinning balls curve), this pressure differential creates a force at right angles to the wind direction.
We want to know how much the height of our sphere-rectangle gets squished during this projection, which is the ratio of this hypotenuse to the leg on the right.
And the reasoning here is they both have that triple ticked side, a double ticked side, and they're both 90-degree triangles, so this follows by the 90-degree side-side-angle congruence relation.
