Pythagorean Theorem relates the areas squares, but it also relates the areas of circles!pic.twitter.com/2aWTa8kP3B

Pythagoras' theorem is totally 100% about the 2D relationship between linear size and area. Please rt this meme.

I think what they mean is that the Pythagorean theorem is a special case of a more general theorem. Historically speaking, they might be correct. Though usually people keep the name of the theorem for the most general version.

Stokes' theorem comes to mind as an example. It's just a generalized version of the FTC, but no one calls it FTC.

The point is that, as already said, it has nothing to do with the Pythagorean theorem, which is a statement about (tri)angles while your animation is just about the relation b/w the side and the surface of any plane figure!
-
Take any two plane figures whose sides are in a definite ratio, say r/R, than their surface will be in the squared-ratio, namely r^2/R^2, whatever the shape (so nothing to do with triangles, let alone the Pythagorean theorem).
