Pythagoras
There is a lot to say about the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras. His theorem is well known. Few people know the very simple proof of this theorem. It's so elegant. I want to share it.
A square with side A + a square with side B + 4 triangles
= a square with side C + (the same) 4 triangles.
Thus A2 + B2 = C2.
That's all.
