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. This figure does not need to be submitted.

[Image: 1) Draw right triangle ABC by Construction. 2) Draw altitude CD with length h by Construction. 3) Let segment AC = b, segment CB = a, segment AB = c, segment AD = x, and segment DB = y by Labeling. 4) y + x = c by the Segment Addition Postulate. 5) c/a = a/y and c/b = b/x by the Pieces of Right Triangles Similarity Theorem. 6) b² = cx by the Cross Product Property and a² = cy by the Cross Product Property. 7) a² + b² = cy + b² by the Addition Property of Equality. 8) a² + b² = cy + cx by Substitution. 9) a² + b² = c times the quantity y + x, by the Distributive Property of Equality. 10) a² + b² = c * c by Substitution. 11) a² + b² = c² by Multiplication.]
