There are 5 steps to prove the Pythagoras theorem:
1. Draw four congruent right triangles.
2. Arrange the triangles so that they form a square with sides a+b.
3. Rearrange the same four triangles such that they form two equal rectangles inside a larger square.
4. Recognize that the area not formed by the triangles is equal in both arrangements.
5. Set the areas of each arrangement equal to each other.
And that finishes the proof.
