As for the notorious triangle with its hypotenuse and legs, this, according to the Great Greek, is more than a geometric figure. This is a "key" to all encrypted phenomena of our lives. Everything is in nature, Pythagoras said, divided into three parts.

Therefore, before solving any problem, it must be represented in the form of a triangular diagram.
