How do you guys like this very convoluted proof of the Pythagorean theorem I just made

#math #for my thesis btw hehe #one good thing about this one is that it is a direct scissors congruence using only translations #though there's definitely simpler diagrams that have that same property :p #this one i got by applying zylev's algorithm to the common visual proof where you add 4 triangles to make a square with side length (a+b)
