- 1Welcome to TeX.SE. Could you post the code for your right triangle? That would give us something to start from.Teepeemm– Teepeemm2021-08-03 20:40:58 +00:00Commented Aug 3, 2021 at 20:40

- @Teepeemm thank you for your suggestion, I have added my codeuser209867– user2098672021-08-03 20:48:55 +00:00Commented Aug 3, 2021 at 20:48
- 1Since the two interior triangles are similar (to each other and the outer triangle) it would help to use easily rotated triangles, like 3-4-5 or 30-60-90 (1-2-\sqrt{3}).John Kormylo– John Kormylo2021-08-03 20:53:49 +00:00Commented Aug 3, 2021 at 20:53
- You seem to be working your way through proofs of Pythagoras' theorem. Let me know when you get to the correct one, and I can provide the code for it as seen in loopspace.mathforge.org/CountingOnMyFingers/FavouriteProofAndrew Stacey– Andrew Stacey2021-08-03 20:56:28 +00:00Commented Aug 3, 2021 at 20:56

How to Edit
- Correct minor typos or mistakes
- Clarify meaning without changing it
- Add related resources or links
- Always respect the author’s intent
- Don’t use edits to reply to the author
How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>
How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. tikz-pgf), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
