The Pythagorean Theorem Explained

This animation shows a right triangle with squares built on each side, illustrating how the area of the square on the hypotenuse equals the sum of the areas on the other two sides. Through a step-by-step geometric rearrangement, it visually proves a² + b² = c². Useful for students learning geometry fundamentals and teachers introducing proofs without heavy algebra, the animation builds intuition before formal symbolic work.
