Dash across a square
In a diagonal line
What's the distance there
Don't use trig like Sine! (no no no)
Sides can have length one
(With) Two triangles now
Hypotenuse of root two done
And surely you see how!
CHORUS:
Oh,
A squared plus, B squared is, C squared all the way
Oh what fun, Pythagorean Theorem is to say. Yay!
A squared plus, B squared is, C squared all the way
With the right triangle we relate sides on display
Some centuries ago
'Round five hundred BC
This upset status quo:
Irrationality!
Folks got into disputes
Proportions had routines
Pythagorus disliked these roots
He also hated beans!
CHORUS:
But,
A squared plus, B squared is, C squared all the way
Oh what fun, Pythagorean Theorem is to say. Yay!
A squared plus, B squared is, C squared all the way
With the right triangle we relate sides on display
Now it's tried and true
(Such) A celebrity
Cosine law we'll do
And trig identity!
Take E is MC squared
Momentum we impart
This gives E-squared if you're prepared
Oh snap! This math is art!
CHORUS:
Yes,
A squared plus, B squared is, C squared all the way
Oh what fun, Pythagorean Theorem is to say. Yay!
A squared plus, B squared is, C squared all the way
With the right triangle we relate sides on display
(Yes, with a right triangle we relate - sides - every - day!!)
