Using the Area of Squares Proof to Relate Side Lengths of a Right Triangle

In this lesson, students will learn about the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle using the area of squares proof. They will understand that the sum of the areas of the squares formed by the two legs of a right triangle is equal to the area of the square formed by the hypotenuse. This relationship is known as the Pythagorean theorem and applies to all right triangles.
