This is by far the worst illustrated proof of Pythagoras’ Theorem.

There’s zero intuition the squares should be the same based on the illustration.

It’s not even in my top 5 illustrated proofs of that theorem

I use a tier list instead of a "top 5 illustrated proofs" list. This is definitely C tier, which means it's as good as combining a couple proofs in the A and B tiers by taking the root of the sum of squares.

Damnit. Take my upvote, I don’t want it anyway.
