British flag theorem British flag theorem In Euclidean geometry, the British flag theorem says that if a point "P" is chosen inside rectangle "ABCD" then the sum of the squared Euclidean distances from "P" to two opposite corners of the rectangle equals the sum to the other two opposite corners. As an equation: The theorem also applies to points outside the rectangle, and more generally to the distances from a point in Euclidean space to the corners of a rectangle embedded into the space. Even more generally, if the sums of squared distances from a point "P" to the two pairs of opposite
