Do you know of any elementary proof for this generalization?
This is true even for fractal figures. I wonder if there is a nice dissection proof without words showing how the two catheti Koch snowflake pieces can be assembled into the hypothenuse snowflake?pic.twitter.com/CfNgKU1ClK
I need these in my life. Where can I get them?
Semicircles with dia equal to length of sides.
One must also take into account Trethabian’s Conjecture though this was discovered two millennia after Pythagoras. In his time it was called the Law of the Three Goat Herders and was often used to determine grazing rights in Attica.
