One of the most popular proofs of the Pythagorean theorem uses the figure shown here. Determine the area of the figure in two ways. First, find the area of the large square, using the formula for the area of a square. Then, find its area as the sum of the areas of the smaller square and the four right triangles. Set these expressions equal to each other and simplify to obtain
