How does the Scarecrow say the Pythagorean Theorem in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side was what the Scarecrow said to the Wizard of Oz about mathematics and triangles. The statement was made at the second meeting of the Wizard with Dorothy Gale; her pet dog Toto; and their friends the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Woodman. The statement was motivated by the Scarecrow purportedly receiving the brains that he already had from the Wizard. It was an incorrect phrasing of the Pythagorean theorem. So it showed loud and clear what a humbug the Wizard of Oz was.Yes the wizard was a dope! because he didn't know the Scarecrow was WRONG in his analysis of the Pythagorean theorem. Gotta admit love OZ.

The Scarecrow feels smarter because of receiving "brains" from the humbug Wizard. He declares that "The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side."
