不知道为什么 菱形和等腰直角三角形似乎没有那么重要了。

According to the converse of the Pythagorean theorem, that has to make a right triangle, and, therefore, a square corner.

根哥拉斯逆定理，这就可以形成一个直角三角形，因此，便可形成直角。

Once we draw that radial line, together with the distance d we have another right triangle.

一旦我们画出那条径向线，加上距离 d，我们就得到了另一个直角三角形。

When you draw a vector, it's a lot like the HYPOTENUSE of a right angle triangle.

当你画一个箭头时，它很像 直角三角形斜边。

And if we draw a vertical line up to the left here, we have  ourselves a right triangle.

如果我们在这里向左画一条垂直线，我们就会得到一个直角三角形。

Similar experiments show that all shapes other than acute triangles, including right triangles, will also wake up.

类似实验表明， 除了锐角三角形之外所有形状，包括直角三角形， 也会被唤醒。

You've got Babylonian surveyors who have their own unique understanding of right triangles and rectangles, and they're using it.

你有巴比伦测量员，他们对直角三角形和矩形有自己独特理解，并且他们正在使用它。

That states that the squares of the sides of a right triangle add up to the square of its hypotenuse.

这表明直角三角形各边平方加起来等于其斜边平方。

For example, the isosceles or the scalene, or really any much either of these two can also be a " right angle triangle" .

例如，等腰或斜角，或者这两者中任何一个都可以是“直角三角形”。

This is the length of measurement system standard deviation leg of the right triangle. The measurement system variance is the square of this number.

这是测量统标准偏差直角三角形边长度。测量统方差是该数字平方。

But how do we know that the theorem is true for every right triangle on a flat surface, not just the ones these mathematicians and surveyors knew about?

但是我们怎么知道这个定理对平面上每个直角三角形都成立，而不是一些数学家和测量人员所推测呢？

And if you'd really like to convince yourself, you could build a turntable with three square boxes of equal depth connected to each other around a right triangle.

如果你真想说服自己，你可以建个转台，上面有三个相同深度正方形盒子，它们靠一个直角三角形相连。

This proof divides one right triangle into two others and uses the principle that if the corresponding angles of two triangles are the same, the ratio of their sides is the same, too.

这种证明将一个直角三角形分为两个部分，利用了如下定理：如果两个三角形对应角相同，那么它们边比例也是相同。

His musics, his trigon, his golden thigh: Pythagorean theories about music and numerology, the Pythagorean theorem about right triangles, and the myth that Pythagoras had a golden thigh are glanced here.

他音乐，他三角，他金大腿：哥拉斯于音乐和命理理论，于直角三角形勾股定理，以及哥拉斯有一条金大腿神话，都在这里一瞥。

You see, about a thousand years before the Greek astronomers were looking at the night sky. You've got Babylonian surveyors who have their own unique understanding of right triangles and rectangles, and they're using it.

在希腊天文学家观察夜空一千年以前，巴比伦测量员对直角三角形和矩形有他们自己独特理解，他们还会使用它。
