Theorem of the Gnomon

Geometry

The theorem of the gnomon states that certain parallelograms occurring within a gnomon, an L-shaped figure formed by removing a smaller rectangle from a corner of a larger one, have areas of equal size.

Has Statement Form

Equation, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the statement-form enum value this theorem already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The statement-form fact itself stays on the theorem unchanged.
