The two-column proof with missing justifications proves the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles: Statement Justification Draw an altitude from point C to Line segment AB Let segment BC = a segment CA = b segment AB = c segment CD = h segment DB = x segment AD = y y + x = c c over a equals a over y and c over b equals b over x a2 = cy; b2 = cx a2 + b2 = cy + b2 a2 + b2 = cy + cx a2 + b2 = c(y + x) a2 + b2 = c(c) a2 + b2 = c2
