We can think of as the area of the square created from that side. The same goes for and . *Click Show Squares*. The Pythagorean Theorem states that if we add the areas of the leg squares it will always equal the area of the hypotenuse square. *Click Show Calculations*. Move the A and B vertices to change the triangle and verify that is always equal to .
