The Pythagorean Theorem: Because You Clearly Didn't Listen in Math Class

Ah, Pythagoras, the ancient Greek dude who figured out that the square root of the hypotenuse's square minus the square of the other two sides is equal to the square root of the hypotenuse's square... Yeah, that's a thing. Want to learn more? We won't judge you for it.

Proof 5: Because You Clearly Needed More Reasons to Love This Theorem

Step 1: Draw a triangle, duh.

A triangle, duh.

Step 2: Square those sides.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Step 3: Subtract, add, subtract, add...

a^2 - b^2 = c^2 - a^2

(a^2 - b^2) / (c^2 - a^2) = 1

Step 4: Profit!

Now you have the Pythagorean Theorem! Pat yourself on the back, math whiz.
