Prove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs of the triangle equals the squared length of the hypotenuse. Be sure to create and name the appropriate geometric figures. @dan815 @YanaSidlinskiy @TheSmartOne @confluxepic
