Did you know that the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, created a proof demonstrating the Pythagorean Theorem? Despite his busy political career, Roosevelt had a deep interest in mathematics and devised a proof for this fundamental mathematical principle. This theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, continues to be taught and applied in mathematics classrooms worldwide. Roosevelt's proof serves as a testament to the multifaceted talents and intellectual curiosity of American presidents throughout history.
