* In the 1958 movie Merry Andrew, actor Danny Kaye sings a song about "The Square of the Hypotenuse". * "The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle

Is equal to the sum of the squares of two adjacent sides.

You'd not tolerate lettin' your participle dangle,

So please effect the self-same respect for your geometric slides."

. . .

* In the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion travel to meet a wizard, seeking respectively a brain, a heart and courage. After receiving his brain from the wizard, the Scarecrow recites the Pythagorean Theorem incorrectly. He stated, "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side." Oops!

* In the Gilbert and Sullivan 1879 Opera Pirates of Penzance, a reference is made to the Pythagorean Theorem in the song "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General". *
