Description

This interactive simulation, students are able to visualize a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem by choosing a right triangle, and watching as a2 + b2 = c2 is proved. This is an excellent introduction for students to not only understand the formula, but why the formula works to measure the sides of right triangles.
