Talk:Pythagorean theorem

Would it be possible to get an easy-to-understand proof? - Perhaps the one given by Euclid, Book 1, Proposition 47? --Eptalon (talk) 07:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, the current proof is over-complicated. I have this simple Pythagorean Proof, but I do not know who owns the copyright to the picture. I found it on the Compuserve science and math forum long ago. --George Gesslein II (talk) 08:33, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen this?--Eptalon (talk) 11:17, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's the one. I think that algebraic proof is the easiest for the beginner to understand and can be explained with only a few words and equations, but of course a picture is required. --George Gesslein II (talk) 11:35, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that picture from commons is useless, then? --Eptalon (talk) 14:35, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Eptalon, I was just trying to be helpful. --George Gesslein II (talk) 01:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

how does the pythagorean theorem help?[change source]

please explain detail.

The picture under the 'Proof' tab needs to be smaller[change source]

In my opinion, the picture under the 'Proof' tab needs to be smaller as it's spoiling the alignment of the text, making the article look sloppy and unprofessional in my opinion. Xboxsponge15 (talk) 11:29, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
