Why is the Pythagorean theorem true?

Asked by Soubresaut (13714points) August 14th, 2020

I know several ways to show that it’s true. I’m not so much interested in ways of proving the truth of the theorem as I am in trying to understand in a physical way why it’s true.

Why are the sides of a right triangle related to each other that way?
