I like President Garfield's - a rare use of a trapezoid. What say you? Cool link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT...ay1/Pythagorean.html | ||

 You had it coming! Thanks for the diversion. It feels good to be silly occasionally.

I'd never seen Garfield's proof before. For some reason, I find Bhaskaras's first proof to be most elegant! I suppose that's because just from examination, it's intuitively correct. One of my NC State math profs. (circa 1960's) said that many (most?, all?) of the simpler algebraic theorems could be proven geometrically. The quantity A + B squared = A squared + 2AB + B squared being an easy example. ------------------------------------------------------------ "I have resolved to fight as long as Marse Robert has a corporal's guard, or until he says give up.

I must admit I had not seen any of those proofs before. I have usually seen Euclid's proof (sometimes labeled the "Bride's Chair" proof). I must admit the dissection proofs are a lot easier to follow. Garfield's is interesting, but it does require the formula for area of a trapezoid--of course, that can also be derived easily by dissection.

OMG!! There are TWO of you here?? Reference my earlier post in another thread: "Well, there must be a _____________ in my wood shed somewhere because I suck at higher mathematics. RMD" My hat is off to both of you.

The proof is in there... You axed me. Now, if you paid a cover and $15 for drinks, sitting at a little round table with a candle, you'd be laughing. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||
