#0, Variation of proof #43 - Pythagorean Theorem
Posted by John Molokach on Aug-11-10 at 11:52 PM
OK, here is yet another one I have done. I have not seen anything like this exactly on your page, but I feel it is a variation somewhat of proof #43, which is my favorite of the proofs that are on the page...Here it is: https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0BygZeXnaKTslYzk5NmZiZmUtYmYyMS00OWU1LTg1NDgtOWNiZGY0ZWU5NThh&hl=en&authkey=CKjKwpQH

I am on vacation until the end of the month. I shall add your remark to proof 43 when back home.

Thanks, I appreciate the recognition. Hope you enjoy your vacation. I am going to add one last variant I want you to look at in a new thread.

The word "quadrilateral" is spelled "quadrlatral" in the addition you made to proof 43.

Regarding your final comment on proof #43, I was not sure if you had seen this page:http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/MamikonsProofOfThePythagoreanTheorem/ It has a nice animation and the final statement about the PT is an image on this page as well: http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/MamikonsProofOfThePythagoreanTheorem/HTMLImages/index.en/popup_9.jpg
