Simple Animated Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem Using Scaling ✏️

This is a short, animated visual proof of the Pythagorean theorem (the right triangle theorem) using the hypotenuses of scaled triangles. This theorem states the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of squares of the two other side lengths. #mathshorts #mathvideo #math #pythagoreantheorem #pythagorean #triangle #manim #animation #theorem #pww #proofwithoutwords #visualproof #proof

This animation is based on a visual proof by Frank Burk from the November 1996 issue of The College Mathematics Journal (https://doi.org/10.2307/2687335 page 409).

Here is my original animation of this proof: https://youtu.be/q28H5NY5UVU
