Love it. Makes you think analytically. Math sharpens your mind. Thanks for the post.
James Garfield proved it with just TWO triangles.http://math.kennesaw.edu/~sellerme/sfehtml/classes/math1112/garfieldpro.pdf
Now… what happens when you cross the Pythagorean Theorem (um… isn't it proven?) with the Golden Mean? }]
The Pythagorean Theorem is about the only thing I remember from high school math……
