I am the oddball mathematical person who happens to also be an artsy person - go figure - so I really love teaching perspective. <br /><br />By the way, the diagonal on the square paper is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and you may remember from math class that a and b are the right angled sides, and c is the hypotenuse or diagonal. You probably learned the Pythagorean theorem, which says: a squared + b squared = c squared, so if you have 12" paper, 12 squared is 144, so add 144 + 144 = 288, and the square route of 288 is a little under 17 (find that w/a calculator); measure your diagonal and see if I am correct!<br /><br />That's today's math lesson from the mathematical art teacher!
