This is a 3D artistic representation of the Pythagorean Theorem visual proof, based on this diagram:
The model consists of four identical right triangles with legs a, b, and hypotenuse c that correspond to three different squares.
The larger central square shares edges with the hypotenuse of the right triangles (c). In other words, this square has an area of c^2.
The 4 medium squares around the outside share edges with leg b of the right triangles. Thus, they have an area of b^2.
And finally, the 4 small squares around the outside share edges with leg a of the right triangles. So, they have an area of a^2.
As it turns out, the combined areas of square A and B is equal to the area of square c. In other words, a^2 + b^2 = c^2! To emphasize this relationship, squares a and b have their own unique visual pattern, while square c features an overlay of a and b's patterns.
This is meant to be a simple but elegant visualization of these relationships that might help explain this theorem.
Cheers!
