Exploring Pythagoras' Theorem

Investigate [b]Pythagoras' Theorem[/b] by changing the size of the red triangle using the blue circles.[br][br]You can also rotate the square on the hypotenuse (longest side) labeled C using the black dot in the corner.
Find the Area of each square [br]sides of the right angle triangle is a=4 b=3 c=5
[br][br]What do you notice about the area of[br]these three squares? Check[br]and write a rule for what do you explore [br][br]
[br][br]Drag the blue point to set the a=3 b=4[br][br][br]Repeat the same step by setting anther a and b [br]WHAT DO YOU NOTICE ? [br]WRITE THE RULE [br]CAN WE USE THIS RULE FOR ANY RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLE ?
