NPR Sunday Puzzle (Apr. 9): Pythagorean Anagram

NPR Sunday Puzzle (Apr. 9): Pythagorean Anagram
Q: Take the letters of PYTHAGOREAN and rearrange them to make two familiar math terms.
So there are 11 letters to anagram. I'll give you a hint, the two words aren't close in length. Neither GRAPH, nor THEORY is part of the answer.
Edit: And now for the answer...
A: HEPTAGON and RAY

For NPR puzzle posts, don't post the answer or any hints that could lead to the answer before the deadline (usually Thursday at 3pm ET). If you know the answer, submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.

You may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't assist with solving. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the deadline. Thank you.
