The Pythagorean theorem relates the length of a vector to its projection onto an orthonormal basis for Euclidean space.
Does it also work in the same way for parallograms, and higher dimensional linear solids such as paralleopipeds? I take an n dimensional linear solid and project it onto an orthonormal basis for the space of n dimensional solids and then compute its hypervolume from the sum of squares of the projection coefficients.
