Pythagorean Theorem Proof

Pythagorean Theorem Proof is a downloadable 3D printable model for boxes & containers. Review the files, license, and creator attribution before printing.

Original creator description

This is an example of a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. The 3x3 and 4x4 boxes can be rearranged on this model to show that the areas will be the same as that of the 5x5 box. This allows for visual learners to fidgit with the Pythagorean Theorem and see how it truly works so that they not only have the formula memorized but also understand what that formula means. (B.B, C.F., and R.H., MAT 363 Fall '16) Citation: Our design project was inspired by mshscott's similar model. This hosted file keeps creator credit and license details.
