Pythagorean theorem: Euclid’s proof reimagined

This is a short, animated visual proof of the Pythagorean theorem (the right triangle theorem) following essentially Euclid's proof. This theorem states the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of squares of the two other side lengths.

Isn't it more beautiful to draw 3 more triangles that are congruent to ABC ∆ around the c² square?

This is also why the Pythagorean Theorem isn't true in non-Euclidean Geometries, because in those sheers and rotations are not area preserving.

I kinda prefer the the regular proofs, they just feel more certain in my mind. You know c^2=(a+b)^2-2ab

I like your animation. I have a similar proof, using Geogebra for the two shifts and one rotation. Cavalieri Principle is involved in the shifts.

The Pythagorean Theorem is not restricted only to squares. It'll work for circled or any other polygon.

As a math student & aficionado I love visual proofs. As a math teacher I’m not as big a fan because visual proofs are not as precise or rigorous. We may not see tiny errors in a visual proof, but a logical, algebraic proof deals with fundamentally exact relationships. For example, there are great approximations for the length of an ellipse, but it can’t be given exactly. This means visual “proof” can mislead us into accepting an approximation as an equivalence. Therefore, visual proofs need to be cross-checked with more rigorous methods.

I think this is more of an illustration than a proof as such

I prefer the shear up, translate, shear down proof. It's much easier to visualize and there's no overlap.

Here’s another one:
So, you can take 4 of the same triangle and arrange them so the outer edges form a square. This is 2ab. The middle part (negative space) is c^2. So, 2ab+c^2=(a+b)^2. So, c^2=(a+b)^2-2ab=a^2+2ab+b^2-2ab=a^2+b^2, hence a^2+b^2=c^2.

Amazing! Can this technique be used to prove the law of cosines, that
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 -2ab*cos(γ)?

I guess the rotation is where the cosine might come from!

Wait this is literally just Euclid's first theorem, which I'm studying in school now.

In case people didn't know, Euclid's first theorem states that the area of the square of a leg is equal to the area of a rectangle with 1 side being the hypotenuse and the other side being the projection of that same side on the hypotenuse
