47th - In right-angled triangles the square on the side opposite the
right angle equals the sum of the squares on the sides containing the
right angle.

32nd - In any triangle, if one of the sides is produced, then the
exterior angle equals the sum of the two interior and opposite angles,
and the sum of the three interior angles of the triangle equals two
right angles.
