“The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side.”
No, that’s what the Scarecrow said in the wizard of Oz, after he got his brain. But it’s wrong. The actual theorem is: “The square of the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.”
Now, is this a Beuteljames mistake, or a subtle mocking of Scottie? Or is he just messing with us? As with so many things on the island, we may never know.
Same mistake they made in the The Wizard of Oz movie…
Brains fart. You learn something new every day, Scottie. Or, in your case, you don’t.
