Let's take an example where a=10 (base); what would the hypotenuse be?
Multiply 10 with sqrt(2) and we get 14.14…
\(10*\sqrt{2} = 14.14\)
Take the area of the smaller sided square 100 (10×10) and the area of the greater perimeter square (14.14)² should equal twice the area of the larger line segment of the two.
And it is! (199.94, 0.06 difference to due rounding error)
Here's an image to feast your mind! I will be inclined to add 3D mathematical proofs when I finish the research.
