Generalising Pythagoras

Author:Jim Simons
Topic:Angles, Cosine, Pythagoras or Pythagorean Theorem
This is about a generalisation of Pythagoras's theorem that applies to a general triangle. It is is roughly equivalent to the cosine rule, but is purely geometric, about the areas if rectangles. There is no trigonometry in its statement or proof.
