Ah, Pythagoras....
cos(c/r) = cos(a/r) * cos(b/r) I assume you mean (that's for a spherical triangle of course).
No, the question has many answers, only one of which is sqr(h) = sqr(a) + sqr(b).
Here are a few:
A right pain in the arse (13 year old kid).
The relationship between the real and imaginary components of a complex number.
One of the greatest developments in the history of Greek mathematics.
The theorem on p212 of your text book.
etc. etc.
