Visual Proof Pythagorean Theorem

Move the sliders to adjust the lengths of "a" and "b". The large square has sides of length "a + b". The blue square inside the right diagram has sides of length "c".
1. Inside each large square: Is the total area of the blue (equal to, less than, or greater than) the total area of the lighter shaded regions.[br][br]2. How does the comparison of the two diagrams demonstrate the Pythagorean theorem?
