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
What Is the What writes: "Over the course of many years, Dave and I have collaborated to tell my story... I told [him] what I knew and what I could remember, and from that material he created this work of art." The book is typical of Eggers' style: blending non-fictional and fictional elements into a non-fiction novel or memoir. By classifying the book a novel, Eggers says, he freed himself to re-create conversations, streamline complex relationships, add relevant detail and manipulate time and space in helpful ways—all while maintaining the essential truthfulness of the storytelling. However, not all critics were impressed. Lee Siegel sees
