The Pythagorean Theorem and Area

Start by moving the points on the right triangle. Then proceed to show the squares, followed by the

triangles, and then the semicircles. Finally make a conjecture about a relationship involving the areas

of the shapes. When you are done, look to see if your conjecture matches the one provided and try

and prove each conjecture.
