    The document describes a proof of the Pythagorean theorem by rearrangement of triangles. It takes four identical right triangles and arranges them to form a larger square with a square gap in the middle. The triangles are then rearranged such that two squares are formed, with areas a^2 and b^2, leaving an empty space of area c^2. This demonstrates that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, proving the Pythagorean theorem.

    Pythagoras theorem
    By Sampreeth
    What is the Pythagoras theorem??????
    In mathematics, the Pythagorean theorem, also
    known as Pythagoras's theorem, is a fundamental
    relation in Euclidean geometry among the three
    sides of a right triangle. It states that 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 on the other two sides.
    This theorem can be written as an equation relating
    the lengths of the sides a, b and c, often called the
    "Pythagorean equation"
    Verifying Pythagoras theorem
    Proof by rearrangement Then take these triangles and put them so
    To prove the Pythagoras theorem, firstly they cover the perimeter of a square by
    take 4 identical triangles with the same leaving a square gap in the middle of the
    dimensions. Then name the sides. shape. Like so..
    Verifying Pythagoras theorem
    We can see that the side c of each Then rearrange the triangles in the big
    triangle in inside so we can simplify the square like in the picture below. Which will
    area of the inner triangle as c². make 2 squares with areas b² and a².
    Verifying Pythagoras theorem
    As we can see from both of the squares, the empty space in the first square is
    c² and the empty space in the second square is a² and b² which basically is a²
    + b², so we can see that a² + b² = c². This is the formula of Pythagoras theorem.
    So therefore this method shows us that the Pythagoras theorem is true and
    this method is the proof for that.
