PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM IN THREE DIMENSIONS 3-D, De Gua's Theorem: In any tetrahedron with a cubic vertex O-ABC the square of the area of the face opposite the cubic vertex O-ABC is equal to the sum of the squares of the areas of the other three faces AOB, AOC, BOC.

THE GENERAL EXTENSION TO PYTHAGORAS' THEOREM: If any 3 similar shapes are drawn on the sides of a right triangle, then the area of the shape on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the areas on the other two sides.
