a2 + b2 = c2

The Pythagorean Theorem!
Sweet. I know this! I can do it! Now... show that you can! Take the three squares we cut out in class, and reconstruct the smaller 2 to match exactly the larger one. You can show this by placing them next to each other, but it does need to be evident in the post that you indeed have successfully reconstructed the 2 to match exactly the third larger square. Good luck!

Notice how I aligned the orange (6X6 square) and the purple (8X8 square) as a 10X10 square to match the green one Your turn! It appears the Blogger won't allow photos to be posted in the comments, so you'll need to bring the evidence to class on Friday. 3 ways:
1) Take a photo and bring that
2) Bring the actual squares and display them on your desk in the appropriate fashion.
3) Post a link here in the comment I could open that would show me your finished result.

  2. there needs to be ten rows and ten columns in each so i cut and pasted the 36 green squares and added two rows to the outer red square. So 36+64=100!!
