the pythagorean theorem is actually the square of the hypotonuse of a right triangle is the sum of the squares of the other two legs of the triangle. Not the sum of the squares roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the remaining side. That scarecrow is never gonna have a brain.
As quickly as he said it, it's actually tough to catch the major errors. No wonder nobody on the set bothered to correct it. Either that or back then people were more ignorant than they are today, despite our Kim Kardashian style entertainment being far more brainless than this classic movie.
Correct me if I am wrong, but when the wizard says "E pluribus unum" am I the only one that finds it to not seem to be placed in the right terminology? After all, it means "Out of many, one." So how would that even make sense in the context in which the wizard uses it?
@ThatCoolGuyNamedMatt He says E Pluribus Unum solely for the reason that it is probably the most familiar Latin phrase to the average American, regardless of knowing what it actually means, due to its presence on our coins. His purpose was to try to make his conferring the diploma sound official, in his own humbug fashion.
@ThatCoolGuyNamedMatt You probably are the only one. People like me don't know what the heck that means. In fact, most people who viewed this video probably still don't realize just how incorrect the scarecrow's triangle epiphany was, despite the attention drawn to it's incorrectness.
3) square roots are not involved!! (except when taking the root of previously squared numbers) the sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse
My friend has the special edition version of the Wizard of Oz, and she told me they mentioned this fact. Apparently the actor who played scarecrow kept saying it wrong. He had the right line, he just never said it right. Finally, the editors just decided to use the best take and hope no one would notice.
@ShadowOpz61 Actually, mooseaues is indeed correct, since Pythagorean theorem applies to all "right triangles", not just "isosceles right triangles". Don't forget that right triangles can be isosceles (angles 45-45-90) or scalene (angles 30-60-90 or 10-80-90 or 40-50-90, etc).
Actually says "square root" "isosceles" & "any two sides", a long way from PyThm.In fact, the statement is false in every case.There is no isosceles triangle which satisfies it.I would add that this makes the statement even more important in the context of TWoO--the greatest ever made--because the message is that one solves one’s own problem.Thus, the scarecrow discovered his intelligence as he created the plan to get into the witch's castle, not when the wizard gave him his Th.D.
noooooooo!!!!!!! its not an isosceles!!! its a right triange. and its not the square roots. the legs sqared eqal the hypotonuse sqared!!!! annnd!!! its not ANY 2 sides. the 2 legs equal the hypotenuse. ayayay............
This cannot be true in any geometry, because he says, "...of any two sides of an isosceles triangle..." If he had said, "of the legs of an isosceles triangle" then it could be true of only some non-Euclidean triangles, such as an isosceles triangle in spherical space, for example, an isosceles triangle having legs equal to 1/6th, and base equal to 2/3rd, of the maximum straight line length.
@TheAntiFascist2010 no, the real equation he is thinking of is when 2 sides of a RIGHT triangle (he says isosceles) measurements are squared, not square rooted, equal the last sides measurement square A(squared)+B(squared)=C(squared). Our geometry honors teacher taught us this
alright, after you get over the petty fact that the recited theorem is flawed, one can see the true message about this specific situation. Do you, personally, need a piece of paper to verify you're a competently intellectual human being? Colleges and Universities all over the country are making a joke of our education system, while making an awfully shiny penny in the process. at this rate, the our societies final destination lies in the shallow graves we have been so diligently digging, The End
@divineinevitable The piece of paper is proof to a potential employer of your competence in a field. It's not to verify that you are a competently intellectual human being, it's to show that you have taken a certain number of classes in a particular subject and have supposedly gained a certain level of knowledge on that subject. I don't see how the college system is digging the grave of our society.
@TheAntiFascist2010 It's "you're" not "your." "You're" is a contraction of "you" and "are," "your" is second person possessive. You could benefit greatly from second grade English. If you're really 31, I would expect you to be able to form an actual rebuttal explaining how I'm wrong rather than just "your a television set."
lol my maths teacher showed us this in class today, this statement would be true if he had said the squares (not square root) of any sides of a right angle triangle
lol this is hilarious! It would have been true though if he had said isosceles right triangle. I wonder how long after the movie came out they figured out it was wrong lol
I always wondered if the writers did this on purpose (he still doesn't really have a brain!) or if they were math-ignoramuses and did so inadvertently.
scarecrow said the sum of the square roots of any 2 sides of an ISOSCELES triangle equals the square root of the remaining side. it is supposed to be a RIGHT triangle. That would be the pythagorean theorem, and also it is not square roots, they are just supposed to be squared.
its true because you can add the square roots of 2 sides if you rearrange the problem to solve for a side that isnt C you get: a^2 - c^2 = b^2 which can be changed to -c^2 + a^2 = b^2 making the scarecrow correct OK
you are dumb the negative number comes from moving it to the other side its a^2 + b^2 = c^2 right? right. so we can assume the when solving for any side that IS NOT c that the formula is a^2 - c^2 = b^2 a and b being interchangeable when we move a to the other side the subtraction sign doesn't just disapeer it just makes the fact that c is negative stand out
Except the fact that c^2 is the longest side and if you subtract it from a^2 or b^2, you get a negative value. Not to mention that you have to take a square root of a negative, which leaves you with an imaginary number. It's called 7th grade math T.H.D. Not to mention he says that you can take the sum of any two sides. That's not true either, it has to be the smaller legs and their sum is equal to the square of the largest side (hypotenuse). Are you smarter than a 7th grader?
this is hilarious!! my teacher showed us this today in class. I was the first one to figure out what was wrong with it. and
DamnedLittleLasseh was right, if you pause it right at the beginning, the scarecrow is standing right between dorothy and the tin man. and the, if you start playing it, the scarecrow moves, right next to the cowardly lion, and so does everyone else. even the wizard changes direction!
this is part of a project in my math class so glad i finaly found the video to all of you who couldnt figure it out he said the square route of ANY two sides is equal to the third side in actual math the square route of the hypotenouse is equal to the square route of the other tow side not any two sides are equal to the third side.
The wizard of oz tries to teach us that copies of forged diplomas, a cheap plastic heart watch, and a fake, possibly stolen, medal of honor make us better
Continuity: When the four travelers confront the fraudulent Wizard, the Scarecrow is standing second from the left, between the Tin Man and Dorothy, up until the line, "And Scarecrow's brain?" In the very next shot, however, when the Wizard replies, "Why, anybody can have a brain," the Scarecrow is suddenly standing first on the right, next to the Cowardly Lion.
Wow that's wrong on so many levels, it's the sum of the squares not square roots, and it's the legs of a right triangle not and 2 sides of an isosceles triangle.
if a squared + b squared = c squared then b squared + c squared can't equal a squared unless they were all equal, and if they were it wouldn't be a right triangle anymore. (By your theory in a 3 4 5 triangle, 9 + 16 = 25 and 16 + 25 = 9 which is clearly not true)
There is no evidence that the writers put the mistake in purposely. There have been multiple attempts at explaining this scene, but none is definitive.
Apparently the scarecrow got a rather lame brain...he erroneously "recites" the Pythagorean Theorem. The "Thag" only applies to right triangles (in planar geometry). Also, it's the squares of each side, not the square roots. Ugh! Do you think the writers did this on purpose???
Did he say PhD or THC? No wonder the scarecrow got it wrong.

Just for clarification there are 3 problems:
1) it must be a right triangle
2) the "remaining side" must be the hypotenuse
3) square roots are not involved!! (except when taking the root of previously squared numbers) the sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
OR
sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = c
NOT: sqrt(a) + sqrt(b) = sqrt(c)
or sqrt(a + b) = c

@frankjcorley Yes, there is an isosceles triangle which satisfies it.
sqrt(a) + sqrt(b) = sqrt(c)
Since it is isosceles, a = b
2sqrt(a) = sqrt(c)
How about all three sides are length 4? It's more equilateral then isosceles but it works.

Wow that's wrong on so many levels, it's the sum of the squares not square roots, and it's the legs of a right triangle not and 2 sides of an isosceles triangle.

ur wrong any 2 sides will equal the remaining side if u work it out

if a squared + b squared = c squared then b squared + c squared can't equal a squared unless they were all equal, and if they were it wouldn't be a right triangle anymore. (By your theory in a 3 4 5 triangle, 9 + 16 = 25 and 16 + 25 = 9 which is clearly not true)

@BleedingAngel1451 don't you mean 25-16=9?

also, its a right triangle, not isosceles.

There is no evidence that the writers put the mistake in purposely. There have been multiple attempts at explaining this scene, but none is definitive.

Of course they did. The Scarecrow is no smarter now than he was before, and his recitation is proof.

Apparently the scarecrow got a rather lame brain...he erroneously "recites" the Pythagorean Theorem. The "Thag" only applies to right triangles (in planar geometry). Also, it's the squares of each side, not the square roots. Ugh! Do you think the writers did this on purpose???
