Nice Visual on the Pythagorean Theorem

without comments

This is just great.  It’s not anatomy, but it’s one of those visuals that makes a concept clearer almost instantaneously.  I don’t know who made this, but kudos to all involved for this little gem.

The Pythagorean Theorem – In any right-angled triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle).

 

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\!\,
