stop that.

I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing!

[The Donmeister]

I can prove Pythagoras' theorem. So there!



First of all, ΔABF = ΔAEC by SAS. This is because, AE = AB, AF = AC, and
BAF = BAC + CAF = CAB + BAE = CAE.

ΔABF has base AF and the altitude from B equal to AC. Its area therefore equals half that of square on the side AC. On the other hand, ΔAEC has AE and the altitude from C equal to AM, where M is the point of intersection of AB with the line CL parallel to AE. Thus the area of ΔAEC equals half that of the rectangle AELM. Which says that the area AC2 of the square on side AC equals the area of the rectangle AELM.

Similarly, the are BC2 of the square on side BC equals that of rectangle BMLD. Finally, the two rectangles AELM and BMLD make up the square on the hypotenuse AB.

Next you'll be telling us the sun isn't painted in the sky.

...Life is unfair, so I just stare at the stain on the wall where the TV'd been but ever since we've moved in it's been empty

Why I why I'm in this room there is no point explainiinngg

[nickspoon]

You're not the boss of me now etc.

[Fritz]

That was EPIC.
