Goldilocks Theorem

I call it the Goldilocks Theorem. As you adjust the size of the largest angle in a triangle, when the angle is acute, the longest side is too small to balance the Pythagorean Theorem. When the angle is obtuse, the longest side is too large to balance the Pythagorean Theorem. But when the angle is right, the longest side is JUST RIGHT to balance the Pythagorean Theorem.
