Consider a rectangular parallelepiped ABCDA`B`C`D`. By the Pythagorean theorem in the triangle AC`C we get:

  Rectangular parallelepiped.  Property

From the right triangle ACB by the Pythagorean theorem we get

  Rectangular parallelepiped.  Property

The edges AB, BC and CC `are not parallel, and therefore their lengths are linear dimensions of the parallelepiped. The theorem is proved.
