Origami Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem -

You can take any of the Pythagorean Triples and prove them just like you did the example you gave us.

You could multiply everything in the 3, 4, 5 example by 2.

6, 8, 10
6^2 + 8^2 10^2

5, 12, 13
8, 15, 17
20, 21, 29

You can mulitply any of these by the same number and they give you different triples.

Pythagorus was good like that!

Hope this helps!
