Weekly #1- Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem: Doing Math

 Here are a few examples of the Pythagorean Theorem that I have begun to work on for my daily work #2.
As you can see below the first example was very simple and easy to understand.

 The second example shown below is trickier and could use some explanation to further understand the proof.

More is to come...

  1. Maybe the difficulty is in the way you have the 2nd problem sketched. I think the bracket for "b" at the top of your sketch may be misleading. Another hint is to find side "a" in the right most portion of your sketch.

    I liked your proofs. I needed to work through some Pythagorean Theorems, too, so yours was a good post to look at. Thanks for sharing.
