Four equal Right Triangles a a a a b bb b c c c c
3
Find the area of the Large Square a b a b c a b c a b c c Find the area of the large square: The area of a square = a side squared The side is = a + b The are of the square = (a + b) = (a + b)(a + b) = a + 2ab + b 2 22
4
Find the area of a Triangle a b a b c a b c a b c c The area of the Triangles = ½ ab
5
Find the area of Four Triangles a b a b c a b c a b c c The area of the four triangles = 4(½ ab) = 2ab 1 2 3 4
6
Find the area of the Small Square a b a b c a b c a b c c The area of the Small Square = c 2
7
Restate the area of the Large Square a b a b c a b c a b c c The area of the Large Square = the area of the Small Square + the area of the Four Triangles The area of the Small Square = c + The area of the Four Triangles = 4(½ ab) = 2ab c + 2ab 2 1 2 3 4 2 2
8
Set the areas equal a b a b c a b c a b c c c + 2ab = a + 2ab + b Simplify c + 2ab = a + 2ab + b c = a + b 1 2 3 4 2 2 2 2 2 2 22 2
