Check out this wordless proof showing the relationship between the side of a right triangle! Make it interactive by following along - Begin with a paper square that measures 4"x4" and a second paper square that measures 3"x3". Follow along with this activity by cutting your paper into triangles that mimic what is happening as you move the sliders on this website.
