Manchester United star Paul Pogba's famous dab celebration has become a geometry lesson in French schools. The pose made famous by the French footballer during goal celebrations, where he forms two right-angled triangles, was part of a test and was tweeted by a French student recently. The students were asked if both the right arms of the footballer are forming perfect right angles.


According to the book ‘The Universal Declaration of the Rights of the Dab’, a dab is perfect only if the triangles represented in the figure (see picture below) are right-angles. The dab is a hip-hop dance form in which the dancer drops his head and rests it on one arm while raising the other arm. It was created by rap group Migos, and has been imitated by many sportspersons including American footballer Cam Newton and NBA star Lebron James among others.
