Pythagoras Theorem Cutouts

In the previous posts, two different explorations were presented for the derivation of the Pythagoras Theorem. The first exploration can be found here and the second here.

The Pythagoras Theorem states that:
   "The square of the length of the hypotenuse (denoted by c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (denoted by a and b)"

Pythagoras Theorem

This post is for the downloadable cutouts for each of the explorations. You may download them and use them for your class or for your kids to learn.

Here is the cutout for the first exploration of the Pythagoras Theorem. The file consist of two pages. The first page consists of four congruent right triangles. The second page is a square.

Cut along the broken lines on the right triangles and use them to fill in the square on the second page using the EXPLORATION 1 as a guide.
