Pythagorean Theorem With A 3-4-5 Triangle
This animation displays a right triangle with legs 3 and 4 units and hypotenuse 5 units, then builds squares on each side to show that the areas of the two smaller squares (9 and 16 square units) sum to the area of the largest square (25 square units). Grid overlays let students count unit squares to verify the relationship visually. Useful for Class IX-X students learning to prove and apply the Pythagorean theorem before tackling algebraic proofs.
