The Square Of The Hypotenuse of a Right Triangle Is Equal To the Sum of the Squares of the Two Adjacent Sides
Let lyricist Johnny Mercer show you how to make a song about geometry. From the movie Merry Andrew (which was on TCM last week), starring Danny Kaye and directed by Michael Kidd.
I love Danny Kaye and I've never seen that movie. Brilliant. My favourite mathematical tune of his previously had been INCHWORM from Hans Christian Anderson.
