Question 150498: Are there any other shapes that can be formed of the side of the side of the triangle besides squares that can complete the formula for example a hexagon? I have use a circle and that works if you use the length of the sides as the diameters. I think this is because of the square in the r2 is essentially the same as Pythagoras.
