\label{fig-pythagorean}
\end{figure}
\begin{definition}
A function $f$ is said to be \emph{continuous} if its derivative exists at every point.
\end{definition}
\begin{lemma}
Let $f$ be a function whose derivative exists in every point, then $f$ is
a continuous function.
\end{lemma}
\begin{theorem}[Pythagorean theorem]
\label{thm-pythagorean}
This is a theorema about right triangles and can be summarised in the next
equation
\[ x^2 + y^2 = z^2 \]
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which this margin is too narrow to contain.
\end{proof}
And a consequence of \refThm{thm-pythagorean} is the statement in the next
corollary~\cite{lamport94}.
\begin{corollary}
There's no right rectangle whose sides measure 3cm, 4cm, and 6cm.
\end{corollary}
