Emily says she can prove the Pythagorean Theorem using the following diagram. She explains that she can divide the squares on the two shorter sides into grids with equal-sized grid squares. She says she can then rearrange the grid squares to cover the area of the square on the hypotenuse, which proves that the sum of the squares on the two shorter sides equals the square on the hypotenuse.

A 3 by 3 square, a 4 by 4 square, and a 5 by 5 square, put together to form a right triangle with legs 3 and 4 and hypotenuse 5.

Is this a valid geometrical proof that a2 + b2 = c2 for all right triangles
