Organic Pythagorean Theorem

You know the Pythagorean Theorem as a theorem regarding areas, in particular, the sum of the areas of the squares constructed on the legs of a right triangle is equal to the area of the square built on the hypotenuse. Did you know the Pythagorean Theorem will hold for any regular polygons constructed on the sides of a right triangle? Drag the [color=#0fdf2c]GREEN[/color] point to change the number of sides on the polygons. Drag the [color=#ff0000]RED[/color] points to change the size of the right triangle.
