I assume you mean the Pythagorean theorem, and by description you mean equation?

I was trying to be vague to see how pedantic the audience here is when the meaning of a statement can be easily inferred from context. Seems very.

"I was only pretending to be stupid!"

Being vague/ambiguous and sounding stupid are two different things.

I think there’s probably already enough information out there to see how pedantic the typical audience is here ;)
