This animation is based on independently discovered, separate visual proofs by J. Barry Love from the March 1977 issue of Mathematics Magazine (https://www.jstor.org/stable/2689727), page 74, and Alan L. Fry from the January 1985 issue of Mathematics Magazine (https://www.jstor.org/stable/2690228) , page 11.
This is my version of a classic visual proof. Here are other renditions:
