My PBL project is on proving the Pythagorean Theorem. In my project I made a model which I traced from a diagram to make a right triangle and square a, square b, and square c. The Pythagorean Theorem states that a^2+b^=c^. In my video, using my model which I made out of cardboard, a hot glue gun, scissors, and beans, I prove this Theorem. I put beans in the first and second square (square a and square b), and left my third square empty. As you will see in my video below, I removed my right triangle which is in the center of my model and slid the beans over from square a and square be to square c. The beans fit perfectly in square b proving the Pythagorean Theorem a^2+b^2=c^.
