...has here. Swedenborgianism, then, is as demonstrably false, as the proposition that the square •of the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of its two sides, is demonstrably true, and we are no more liable to err, in affirming... | |

...which is equally distant from a common point? And when it is fairly demonstrated that the square upon the hypothenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, can any subsequent progressive knowledge prove this theorem false... | |

...squares BG, C H. XLVII.— EUCLID I. 48. If the square described upon one of the sides of a triangle be equal to the sum of the squares described on the two other sides, the angle contained by these two sides is a right angle. Let ABC (Fig. 37) be a triangle such that... | |

...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... | |

...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... | |
