This applet demonstrates a visual proof of the Pythagorean Theorem (Example 82, new curriculum). Using polygon rotations and translations, it dynamically shows that the sum of the areas of squares on the legs equals the square on the hypotenuse. It helps students intuitively verify the theorem, ideal for middle school geometry.
