= Theorem of the gnomon
{wiki=Theorem_of_the_gnomon}
The Theorem of the Gnomon is a mathematical concept related to geometric figures, particularly in the context of areas. Although it is not as commonly referenced as other theorems, it essentially deals with the relationship between certain geometric shapes, particularly in relation to squares and rectangles. The term "gnomon" refers to a shape that, when added to a particular figure, results in a new figure that is similar to the original.
