      It is such a fascinating and fundamental fact about shapes that was discovered thousands of years ago. On top of it being useful for general knowledge, it just shows how rich and incredible the history of maths is. It is something so simple and might seem insignificant, but this is so important to mathematics from a historical standpoint
