...two circles are to each other as the squares of their radii, diameters or circumferences. FIG. 12. 6. The square described on the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares described on the other two sides. This will be seen by counting the small squares in the... | |

...branches of mathematical and physical science. That " a whole is greater than any of its parts,"—that " the square described on the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares described on its remaining sides," are facts, the one deduced from observation or simple... | |

...intuition, which implies ease and instantaneousness of operation. Take the geometrical theorem, that the square described on the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the two other sides ; it is proved by a series of propositions, the connection of each... | |
