Cannot understand why total SS＝explained SS+unexplained SS
I cannot understand why total SS＝explained SS+unexplained SS because geometrically the sum of two small squares is not equal to a big square.
I wish someone could explain that to me. Thank you.

Is there an interpretation for this identity from sum of squares?
So yesterday my professor wrote the following on the board:
$$\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i = 1}^{n}\left( x_i - \bar{X}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i = 1}^{n} x_i^2 - \bar{X}^2$$
where $\bar{X} = \frac{1}{n}\...
