There is a lot of different proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. This is one I
really like. Consider the right triangle shown on the picture below. \FRAME{%

"Scientific Word";type "GRAPHIC";maintain-aspect-ratio TRUE;display

We used four identical triangles to create the figure shown on the picture
below.\FRAME{dtbpF}{1.9882in}{2.0349in}{0pt}{}{}{insert2.bmp}{\special%
{language "Scientific Word";type "GRAPHIC";maintain-aspect-ratio

\begin{enumerate}
\item Find the area of the big square in terms of $c$.

Solution: $c^{2}$

\item Find the area of the small rectangle in the middle in terms of $a$ and 
$b$.

Solution: The rectangle in the middle is a square with sides $b-a$ units
long. Thus the area is $\left( b-a\right) ^{2}$

\item Find the area of the big square as the sum of 5 areas: four triangles
and the small rectangle in the middle.

Solution: 
\[
4\cdot \dfrac{ab}{2}+\left( b-a\right) ^{2}=2ab+b^{2}-2ab+a^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}
\]

So the area is:%
\begin{eqnarray*}
A &=&c^{2}\text{ \ and} \\
A &=&a^{2}+b^{2}\text{ \ \ which means} \\
c^{2} &=&a^{2}+b^{2}
\end{eqnarray*}

This completes the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem.
\end{enumerate}
