Below is an animated proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Starting with a right triangle and
squares on each side, the middle size square is cut into congruent quadrilaterals
(the cuts through the center and parallel to the sides of the biggest square).
Then the quadrilaterals are hinged and rotated and shifted to the big square.
Finally the smallest square is translated to cover the remaining middle part
of the biggest square. A perfect fit! Thus the sum of the squares on the
smaller two sides equals the square on the biggest side.
Afterward, the small square is translated back and the four quadrilaterals are directly
translated back to their original position. The process is repeated forever. This animated
gif was supplied by Professor Mark Meyerson of the United States Naval Academy.
