A proof of Pythagoras's theorem, showing how by rearranging triangles the areas c2 and a2 + b2 can be shown to be the same.
In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).
