The term "hypotenuse" has been employed in literature not only as a precise geometric term but also as a literary device to evoke clarity and precision in philosophical arguments. For instance, in Timaeus by Plato [1], the hypotenuse is described in an almost archetypal manner as the defining element of a triangle, noted specifically for being twice the measure of its lesser side. This usage mirrors a broader literary trend where mathematical terminology is imbued with symbolic significance, suggesting deeper metaphysical or cosmological insights in the context of classical philosophy.
