Pythagorean Theorem
by Anonymous
Squares drawn on a right triangle's sides show a²+b²=c² as areas, so you can solve for a missing side and test Pythagorean triples like 3-4-5.
About this app
Pythagorean Theorem is an interactive math learning app for exploring right triangles. Compare the areas of squares drawn on the two legs and hypotenuse to see that a² + b² = c², calculate a missing side with square roots, and practice with Pythagorean triples in a four-question challenge.
Use cases
- Middle school students learning the Pythagorean theorem
- Teachers demonstrating square-area relationships in right triangles
- Learners practicing how to find a hypotenuse or missing leg
- Parents guiding hands-on geometry practice at home
Features
- Interactive area exploration with adjustable leg lengths a and b
- Visual square-area comparison for a², b², and c²
- Missing-side practice using b = √(c²−a²)
- Four guided missions with examples including 3-4-5 and 5-12-13
- Four-question multiple-choice challenge with a correct-answer streak counter
