Puzzle Proof #1 – Using the small square, the medium square, and four triangles, make another square. – Repeat step one using the large square and four triangles. – Compare the sizes of the two squares-what do you observe?

In the space below, draw your two squares, one on each side of the equals sign. Place corresponding numbers in the pieces which are the same in both squares. Draw the “equation” that remains when you remove these pieces from both sides.

Formal Proof:
