De Gua's theorem
text:
In mathematics, De Gua's theorem is a three-dimensional analog of the Pythagorean theorem named after Jean Paul de Gua de Malves. It states that if a tetrahedron has a right-angle corner, then the square of the area of the face opposite the right-angle corner is the sum of the squares of the areas of the other three faces: De Gua's theorem can be applied for proving a special case of Heron's formula.
