The Ancient Chinese Trick That Beats Western Math

Описание: Forget memorizing formulas! 🧠 In this episode of Trick = Treat, we reveal the ultimate Geometry Hack: a stunning Visual Proof of the Pythagorean Theorem ( a² + b² = c²) derived from Ancient Chinese Math.

Known historically as the Gougu Theorem, this elegant Math Trick uses a simple square puzzle to prove the relationship between the legs and hypotenuse of a Right Triangle—no complex calculus required. Whether you are a student looking for SAT Math Prep, a teacher seeking a Proof Without Words, or a puzzle lover enjoying Math Olympiad challenges, this video breaks down the logic step-by-step.

We move beyond the textbook to show you the "why" behind the equation. By arranging four congruent triangles, we create a Visual Math masterpiece that turns a headache-inducing problem into a satisfying "Treat." Watch to see how History of Math and modern logic combine to solve one of the world's oldest riddles.
