Pythagorean Theorem With A 3-4-5 Triangle
This animation shows a right triangle with legs of length 3 and 4 and hypotenuse 5, illustrating the Pythagorean theorem. Squares are drawn on each side, and the areas of the two smaller squares (9 and 16) are shown combining to equal the area of the largest square (25). It helps students visualize why a squared plus b squared equals c squared using a concrete, countable example.
