The Pythagorean theorem with triangles rather than squares 2008-04-29
Zachary pose la question :
I need to figure out how to prove the pythagorean theoorem using equilateral triangles instead of using square. I know that A^2+B^2=C^2, but how do you get that by using equilateral triangles. I know the area of a triangle is BH1/2=Area. So what i need to know is how to derieve the formula of a triangle to get the pythagorean theorem
