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.

All you need is that all three figures be similar
plane figures, that is, have the exact same shape.
